My one and only POP server is also inbound.att.net; it's configured with security 'POP3 over SSL (POP3S)', 
and no port on the server address, and works OK--you know, the usual intermittent transient errors, but 
mostly OK.

I've seen that--it doesn't seem to be related to any problem, but I may try to track it down some time.
