I don't know the answer to your questions but I thought I'd throw in some 
information about "INSECURE". That is just a warning to you that your 
password will be send unencrypted over the network. Probably the reason 
for this in your case is that you have "NOTLS" in your configuration. When 
TLS is used the entire conversation, including the password, will be 
encrypted.

If you ISP supports IMAP you might be happier using that instead of POP.
