In Canada I am using Sympatico as my server and with Outlook Express the
incoming pop3 server is (for emails)
pophm.sympatico.ca on port 995
Before this change over to port 995 I used email notifiers. Since the change
I have tried many freeware notifiers but none will work with this new set
up.
Has anyone in this region experienced this behaviour and if so what can be
done about it so that I can resume using notifiers?

See if any of your notifiers work with SSL enabled.

I ran into this problem recently and this link...

....got me through it. The tutorial references Opera and the K9 spam
filtering utility specifically, but it will adapt to your needs with some
tweaking of mail hosts, usernames, and port numbers. You'll need the Stunnel
utility along with OpenSSL; Stunnel listens for local traffic on port 110
(your notifier) and establishes an SLL connection on port 995. I use K9,
PopTray (neither of which natively supports SSL), and OE. I installed
Stunnel as a WinXP service and it works flawlessly for me.
