Hiya Yogi:
It looks like you just assigned 'mailbox the "path" to your
POP serve, which is a URL.
Try it again. This time - at the rebol-shell command prompt:
>> mailbox: pop://user:[pass--domain--tld]
>>type? mailbox
>>url!
; you will see something like the above
; now try:
>>mymail: open mailbox
; you should now get a connection to the POP server.
; once you do, do this
>>type? mymail
; and you should get
>>port!
; now you can 'close it
>>close mymail
