  If you have a gmail address, there can be an additional problem when
trying to fetch gmail and/or login to gmail.com when out of the UK.

We struck this in the Greek Islands in September.
  Although I had no problems fetching email from my ISP's POP server,
the SO was unable to do so from the gmail POP server (or login to
gmail.com).

I found later that this was gmail's 'Overseas' security wall, and to get
through it one needs either an extra one-time login password or a strong
POP/SMTP server password, all available only via the Security option in
one's Gmail account (when in the UK).

Separate from all that, sometimes when trying to use Port 25 to access
an SMTP server, one needs to change from the blocked 25 to 587.
