Hi there Mr. Fox,
Going back 06:20 31.01.2001. when you uttered the following thoughts:

No, no ;-) They allow of course everything as long as you're connected
to the internet gateway. From outside they don't allow POP3 because
*basic* POP3 transmits your user/password combo in cleartext. IMAP
doesnt, thats why its allowed. You are free to use any POP3 you want,
of course if you're dialled in as well.
I must admit I can understand them! They're not an ISP. I'm not sure
how you call it in US. It's a non-profit organization that's mostly
funded by local government...
Cheers,
