Hello August!

So.. why is Outlook not cooperating with pop3/SSL/995?
Best way is not to use outlook directly, but go
controll panell > Mail and then set the functions from there into
the advanced (From memorey).
That will let you set the SSL and Ports.
I didn't realize that I could access the mail properties thru ControlPanel/Mail. Thx.
But using ControlPane/Mail shows exactly the same Settings
menus that Outlook does.
I've just now been able to get access to one. These steps are still current even upto O365.
Goto Control Panel (NOT pane), Mail (Microsoft Outlook),
Click on "Email Accounts", Highlight the email address,
Click on "Change" (3rd option. It's on the bar with new/repair etc.)
On the window that opens, down in the lower right is "More Settings",
Click on that.
Click the "Advanced" Tab.
You now have access to the important bits...
Incomming Pop3 port: (995)
This server requires an encrpted connection. (SSL/TLS)
Outgoing server (SMTP) Port: 465
Use the following type of encrypted connection:
None, SSL/TLS, StartTLS, Auto
