I didn't change anything, so it will have been the normal telnet port.

Yes, that's correct.

Ah! I will try this when I get home. The only one of my mail servers
into which I can telnet is the one here in the office. And of course,
while I'm in the office, there are never "more than 3 messages on the
server", each needs to be downloaded right away. But wait till I get
home. ;-)
