Thanks Marlyse - I didn't even try to use it as usual since the tech support site (and one tech support phone rep) insisted it wouldn't work and I had to jump through special hoops using T-mobile's pop server. But I just tried it and you are right. If I ignore the special settings and just let PM work as usual, it connects fine for sending and receiving.
