I use Thunderbird and found it easy to set up.  (Of course, I've lots 
more experience with this than you do, but it's not as obscure as it 
might be.)  In Thunderbird, there's a typing box for the server name and 
a second box for the port number instead of putting it all into one 
entry as mail.example.com:110.  I'd guess that you can have it set up 
and tested in under ten minutes once it's installed and the only likely 
problem is not getting the authentication method right the first time.
