Thanks for the links, NoOp.

I presume that since I'm getting a 'Negative Vibes' message, that I am 
actually getting to the outside world. I would feel happier if I could 
use ports 110 and 25 as normal rather than switching to ports 1065 and 
1066 as recommended earlier. Still, at least I have green indicators on 
the webmail panel instead of red ones!

However, the settings I have for the WebMail extension were imported 
directly from a (working) set up on an old windoze machine, so all the 
usernames have previously worked.

The Google group does not say what the Negative Vibes message actually 
indicates!

Persevering...
