1.8a6 won't connect to the server to download email (mail.comcast.net) 

Tried deleting stored passwords, but I am never asked to enter any password
info, so it is not getting that far. Email does exist, I can go straight to the
web server web page and see it. Previous version 1.7xx worked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to email screen
2. hit 'get mail'
3. after timeout get message "connection refused"

Actual Results:  
"Could not connect to server mail.comcast.net. Connection refused."

Expected Results:  
gotten mail

Check your firewall settings(permited 1.7xx but prohibited 1.8a6), or compare
proxy settings of 1.7xx and 1.8a6.
