Chris SisloI doubt that Ubuntu is the problem. If it is, then ask on a Ubuntu list, not here. When you say pop.att.yahoo.com.995 do you mean pop.att.yahoo.com:995 (which would be at least syntactically correct)?
And can you telnet to "pop.att.yahoo.com 995"; just to verify you have connectivity and there is something at that host+port.
If that is what you mean, try with Thunderbird, just to discount a number of possible scenarios. No offence, but it took me about 4 scans of your message to notice this, due to the almost complete lack of punctuation. This isn't Twitter.
