4.2-RC3 Mail checker & pop3 entry: missing port number

[Rob Lahaye]

Hi,

The mail checker allows this kind of entry:

   pop3://user:password at server

which works. However, using pop3 like this is risky,
since it sends the password in clear text over the network.

Instead, one should use a secure tunnel from the local machine
to the server. Say, this tunnel operates on port 55110 with:

   ssh -N -f -L 55110:server:110 my.local.host

then the following should be allowed in the mailchecker:

   pop3://user:password at localhost:55110

Now adding such a port number at the end seems to break the
mailchecker.

Regards,
Rob.
