Isn't the syntax like
      {user@mailserver:port/protocol}MAILBOX ?
where
    -  protocol defaults to IMAP, options being POP3 and NNTP
    -  port defaults to the one commonly used by the protocol i.e. 110 for
           pop3, 143 for IMAP and 119 for  NNTP
    - MAILBOX is INBOX for pop3 and any IMAP mailbox for IMAP and
           newsgroup for NNTP

Please correct me if I am wrong .

Regards,
 Sandip
