Thank you, I have selected SSL, rechecked username and password, and am 
using port 995.  It has to be something else.

Is it possible that it could be a kwallet problem.

I removed kwallet months ago.  I didn't think I needed it and did not 
understand it.  I always get a request anymore to secure my passwords in 
kwallet, however, since I re-installed it, I can find no way to 
configure it.  It doesn't show up anywhere in Kmenu.  When I press 
Alt+F2  and type in kwallet, I get 'Could not run the specified 
command'.  I do type in the password for the server though when the 
option shows itself, so that shouldn't be the problem.
