Weird Outlook Express Question

[The Doctor]

Right a person is using MS OE to bring down his mail,
but in the process OE is trying to access the secure port
and OE is told to access port110 instead of port 995.

What is happening?

What is happening?

Secured Socket Layers (SSL) uses port 995 instead of the default
"unsecured" 110 port. OE uses port 110 by default
