Guess what, I figured it out. Let me know if you need to know how. I've got the POP working again, all my rogers.com emails are downloading again into my GMAIL...yeah!
Thanks so much for responding and helping me accept what I need to do, which is to stop using and migrate ALL my rogers.com email accounts to gmail.com, kind regards.
By any (over a year later) would you know if the POP3 issues were ever resolved by Rogers? I now am banging my head against the wall as I have 5 rogers email addresses to manage and I'm not happy.
