 * I am trying to set up the **Post via e-mail** function found in the “Writing 
   Options” tab. However, I can’t seem to get it to work. I have noticed that the
   default port is set to 110. Does anyone know if this needs to be changed for 
   any reason? The email I am using I set up through Cpanel’s “web mail” and I copied
   all of the POP3 account informtion perfectly but there was no mention for a port
   setting.
 * Any thoughts?

 * The normal is 110, but check with your host for sure.
