TF> Where/when does it hang? "Connecting to server"?

well yes, connecting to host

yes I have Zone Alarm and a hardware wall (I keep ZA to monitor
outgoing traffic). My McAffee AV has Outlook email scanning enabled,
and its 'download and email scanning' enabled. I have no spam checker,
and I don't know about the POP server verifying the email while I
download the messages. Should I?

As I said, I haven't made any configuration changes, that I am aware
of, to the bat or to ZA or my anti-virus. As I'm writing this the
connection center has been connecting to host for over 10 minutes to
the pop server at postmark.net (I have 4 accounts here). I have one
other account through my university that never seems to hang.
