Very odd. I've followed their given instructions including the use of 995 for years and never had a problem. I'm actually surprised that 993 has been working for you since most email providers only support a single port for each direction. IMAP will allow you to 'see' all of the Spam within your client of choice, but POP doesn't send the Spam folder contents to your client. As you'll see in another reply I just sent in, I just went in and checked my Spam folders and found some stuff in there from ML. I also found a bunch of stuff I didn't care to see, but that's what that folder is for. So, I suppose it's a balance thing. I like having my Gmail accounts POP into OE with the webmail Spam filter snagging up the garbage. I just have to remember to go in there once a month and free up anything that's not Spam.
