"Would you be so kind as to give me an idea if I should go to really high numbers, and if so which work AOK?"
Look at the list at the link I posted and make your own best guess. The simplest way to find ports available is take a Webmail account that's already using the standard ports (25 and 110) and re-assign them new numbers from that list. If they still work okay, then you have ports you can use for any of your accounts. I use the same ports with multiple accounts in TBird and that worked fine for years with no known problems. It's always best to find ports which aren't assigned. If you find holes in that list, then the port numbers at those holes have not been assigned and should be available for you to use.
