Yeah I used to use XO but dropped them as they were not able to service my
needs. Kinda backwards on security too as they by default give you a insecure
connection to update your web pages. Even though there's a secure link on the

Why don't you just have fetchmail get your mail and there will not be an
issue about sending?
