Ok, I'm going to stick my neck out here.
My map of the world says that neither popstar or Netfetch can handle
imap. They are both pop clients not imap clients.
Having said that, I suppose there may be no law which prevents a
server offering both services so may have a name imap.123-reg.co.uk
but I think even that unlikely.
I thinks you need to set your mail client to
pop server: pop.123-reg.co.uk
All of my pop3 accounts use port: 995.
Please try that.
Bought Netfetch as it seems POPstar won't work with imap which the domain host (123-reg)that handles my email has changed to.
Got imap working OK on Thunderbird, but using the same settings (as best I can since everyone seems to use different names for the same thing) but no luck with Netfetch. It says 'connecting to then logging in to
imap.123-reg' but then connection lost. Is their an idiots guide to configuring it somewhere, as I can't find a help file.
I've set in choices:-
Account name (my full name)
Local user (dave)
Pop3 mail server (imap.123-reg.co.uk)
Port (993)
User name (***@davesound.co.uk) This is the mail box address Thunderbird accesses and I've forwarded the address I do use to that on the 123-reg control panel.
Password (**) same as in Thunderbird.

Sorry to follow up my own post but two other things...
Firstly pop.123-reg.co.uk does indeed ping and has an ip of
94.136.40.233. I therefore think that is a working pop3 server.
I also notice you have your own mail domain so that may change the
server name you should use. Your account info should tell you but it
may that your mail server is something like:
mail.davesound.co.uk or
pop.davesound.co.uk or
pop3.davesound.co.uk or
something like that. Still think 995 is the likely pop3 port though
but you need to switch on SSL.

My mail box at 123-reg is called (username)@davesound.co.uk I then
forward dave@ (etc) to it.
Netfetch offers SSL or STARTTLS. Tried both using port 993 (which
123-reg says to use) and 995.
I can get things to work by forwarding to my BT address which still
works just fine with POPstar and Pluto. But seems a long winded way
of doing things.

As explained to you only last month Netfetch does not do IMAP only
POP.
The fact that 123.reg says to use port 993, which is the encrypted
and secure port for IMAP, is saying that indeed the server imap.123-reg.co.uk only does IMAP.
The clue is in the name of the email server, though as Bob says
sometimes the same server does IMAP/POP3.
As previously explained you need MessengerPro which has a IMAP
client to use to IMAP servers.
The only other solution is as you have set up is to forward the
email to BT and download it via POP3.
The fact that NetchFetch does SLS/TLS is not helpful to you as it
is POP3 over SSL/TLS that it does, or more specifically Hermes
does, not IMAP over SSL/TLS.

I would expect you should be able to use pop3 directly to the server
and pull your email provided their server is configured to do so for
your mail domain.
I think port 993 is for imap and neither netfetch or popstar can use
that as they are pop not imap. As far as I'm aware, only Messenger
Pro is imap capable within RISC OS.
So for RISC OS unless you get messenger pro you can forget port 993.
Your best bet is port 995 and SSL.
So then you have the pop3 server name to worry about.
as I said pop.123-reg.co.uk does ping and if you had an email account
of fred@123-reg.co.uk I would expect that server name to work.
But as i understand it, you have your own mail domain and it is
common for the server names used for such accounts to match the
domain name, mine certainly do.
Hence why I thought mail.davesound.co.uk may be your server, that's
the pattern with mine. Yours doesn't ping though.
Please check with supplier if you have a special named server for pop
to match your domain name.
Does having your email account forwarded to BT stop pop3 access
directly?
You need to ask you hosting company some questions.
Cheers,
Bob.

This all started after 123-reg said I had to change to imap.

I have Messenger Pro as part of the package I bought. As I was told
Netfetch couldn't integrate with Pluto.
This is what I don't get...
They have a server called pop.123-reg.co.uk which pings. I would be
very surprised if it wasn't capable of serving pop3 email downloads.
What is it about Dave's mail domain setup that prevents pop3 download
as as it looks like the company hosting his domain do use pop3?

The actual configuration file is in !NewsDir.RemoteNB.Config
I must admit the built in help and MessengerPro manual are a bit light on actually setting up the IMAP bits so I guess a call to RComp may help at
some stage if you get stuck.
I've been using the two together, ever since I bought Pluto at Wakefield in the RISC PC days - one Readme file is dated 1996!)
