So you're putting "pop.XXX.com:110, pop3.YYY.com:110, pop.ZZZ.com:110"
into the servers field and "10.1.1.55:110, 10.1.1.56:110, 10.1.1.57:110"
into the ports field?  This won't work because the ports field expects
just that - ports, i.e. "110,111,112".

Richie, is the pop3proxy meant to be able to accept servers and
addresses for the 'port' to proxy on?  If so we need to change the 'nice
name', allowed value and description of the option, plus possibly the
code that checks the ports (in ProxyUI.py).

Paulo: if pop3proxy does work like this (which I suppose it must if this
is what you had for a2, unless something has changed), then you should
be able to just enter these details into your config file by hand, if
you change the "PORT" in Options.py in the "pop3proxy" section in the
"listen_ports" option to "SERVER".  Alternatively you could proxy on
separate ports, rather than separate ip's.
