I'm trying to simply retrieve my mail from a fresh install of Mercury from POP3.  I get challenged every time for my password and it is rejected.  Below is the log....  Any ideas?

Could a moderator please move this to the Mercury community support?  I posted in the wrong forum.

Try using a simple username instead of the full SMTP email address.  FWIW, you'll always get a "Known here" even if the user does not exist.  ;-)
