As you've no doubt figured, localhost:8880 is the web interface.

Wow, The Bat! is very generous...

Odd.  I wondered if maybe this was The Bat! doing something strange, but
I downloaded & installed it and it works fine.  You get an "-ERR
authorization first" error if you try to retrieve (etc) mail without
logging in first, but the proxy should just be forwarding on those
commands.

Sounds like the proxy is working then (although I would have expected a
"+OK message" line to appear).

Could you try telnetting again, typing "USER username", then "PASS
password", then "LIST"?  (replacing username and password with the
appropriate values).  It should show a +OK message after each command
and then a list of the messages after the LIST command.

Richie - any ideas?
