Kristle, the servers and ports ARE being changed, but it is not yet a
done deal. Some still have not been notified and old settings still work
and may for some time yet.
As to James' problem, the server setting info he gave is fine. Someone
is advising him elsewhere about stopping email scanning, and he should
do so, but he should also make sure, since he redid all his settings,
that he entered his username as a fully qualified username such as
james@bellsouth.net.
