Summary: authentication error

Details: On switching POP3 servers, what worked previously now gets an authentication error.  Some details. We're dealing with a satellite ISP here. What used to be Direcway is now Hughes.net. POP3 worked fine previously. Access to the account, using the same system name and password, from IE works with no problems at all. Presumably the POP3 server is using some scheme that IE knows about, but not Fetchmail.

Any ideas?
