The 'failed to connect to server' message is because
ports 110 or 25 aren't available.

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.xxxx',
Server: 'mail.xxxx', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Besides what could
possibly block them, is there a Windows executable or something for
unblocking or waking up these ports?
