I get "+OK InterMail POP3 server ready." which is the correct answer.
Maybe your firewall is blocking port 110?
Are you connecting to a mail server that is NOT the one supplied by your
ISP?

I've gone over this twice with the ISP guys. I can always go over with this
one more time. I tend to think it is one of my fireswalls as well - but I
de-activated windows defender, the router firewall, etc (I still haven't even
installed Norton).

How can I check out if it is some firewall that I don't know about or
haven't properly de-activated?

Thanks Brian
