Similar but different, not as ornate, display. I have only two
options, POP3 or IMAP, choose pop3, and a check box for SSL.

Okay, that's the initial set-up walk-through. What happens if you go
into the preferences after the program is running? (That's where I got
my screenshots from.) Do your settings exist in there? Can you
configure things to work from there?
That may help to narrow down whether there's a bug with the initial
configurator, general preferences, the program, or your ISP. I used to
have trouble with Evolution's walk-through configuration, I'd set it to
not require login to the SMTP server, and it'd always set it to require
it. I always had to go into the preferences, after the walk-through,
and change it.
And with my entries:

which produce the "Invalid Command" error message when I "check" for
mail.
I notice that there's a debugging option in my preferences, not sure
where the output is, though. But it looks worth exploring.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
