requester that comes up.

caution since there is no way to get it back once it's deleted (except
for using DiskSalv or somesuch :)
Mail
-
Mail Server
-
This is the server that will be used when receiving mail (and sending
mail, unless you have configured another server as SMTP Server for
sending mail). Typing in the name or IP address of your
pophost/mailserver will do.
Delete mail from POP server
-
Checking this item will make ConnectTHOR (GetTCP) delete the mail from
the remote POP server after the mail has been successfully collected.
You might choose to let the mail remain at the remote POP server, in
which case only the mail that is new from the last time will be
collected.
SMTP Server
-
This is the optional SMTP server used when sending mail. Normally,
you do not need to configure this and can use the Mail server above
for both collecting and sending mail.
Loginname
-
This is the name you log on to your account with.
Get from EMail address
-
By setting this checkbox, the login name will be resolved from your
configured email address.
Password

This is an optional password. By setting the "Ask every time" option,
you will be prompted for the password before collecting mail. This is
the best solution for security reasons.

If your pop server is on some other port than the default 110, set
this to the correct port.

the default 119, enter the port here. This should normally be kept at
the default 119.

news. By setting this to 2 or higher, you might get a 30-80% speedup
when collecting news, depending on your connection, your diskspeed,
your THOR setup and your newsserver. 3 or 4 sockets are generally
good numbers to use. By using more than one socket, more of the
available bandwidth will be used.
Max Msgs
-
This is the maximum number of articles that is to be collected from
each newsgroup you are subscribing to. If you choose to use this
option, you might miss some articles, but using it can be usefull when
