I have just downloaded newsie 0.69 and it seems to be a very good replacement
for Oasis as it has several features that I need, anyway can anyone tell me how
to connect to my POP3 account with newsie as I have tried the following:-

1) telnet to password.demon.co.uk and set up my POP3 password
2) wait (demon said 15mins but I gave it 24Hrs)
3) set up my email address,name etc
4) set up SMTP to 'post.demon.co.uk' in newsie server setup
5) set up POP3 to 'pop3.demon.co.uk'
6) select check mail
7) type pop3 password when prompted

Newsie then tries to connect and tells me 'password invalid'

8) select get mail gives similar

can anyone help, does POP3 work OK on demon for us poor atarians?
