I have never even seen newsie BUT I think I may know where you are going
wrong.  Demons mail works slightly different to may others in that you
can collect mail for your entire nodename and many pakages will not
recognise this, if you have 'email account' (NOT address) to fill in
naywhere then use bahai@pop3.demon.co.uk if it needs a user then again
use 'bahai' you might even need to set the POP3 dialog to
bahai@pop3.demon.co.uk if you can't find an appropriate place for it.
I'm sure someone else will point out what the exactt hings to type if
this is actually the problem.
