In that case, you are definitely using pop3s which would make using wireshark a lot more difficult. See below for a solution.

Since my troubleshooting skills are not sufficient it seems installing
from something other than dnf might be worth a try.

What difference will that make? It will still be the same software and it seems to be more of a configuration issue.

In order for you to find out what command is causing the trouble, you can use stunnel (you will probably need to install it). Put the following lines in a file called stunnel.conf:

foreground=yes
syslog=no
[pop3]
client=yes
accept=localhost:110
connect=mail.wildblue.net:995

As root, run "stunnel stunnel.conf". Now, set Balsa to use localhost:110 as the incoming mail server. Start wireshark and listen to the localhost interface with the filter rule "port 110". Tell Balsa to check for emails. Hopefully you get the same error message. Right-click one of the packets and select "follow tcp stream". You should now see the conversation between Balsa and the server.

Ok, this produces output but I'm not sure how to configure balsa? "set Balsa to use localhost:110 as the incoming mail server" is clear enough but I left the rest as I would set it for gmail.com and I suspect that is not right since the output doesn't seem to produce anything I recognize as being useful.

e.g should the password be for gmail or my user, does it even matter for this case?

I need a little more clarification on those things.

Bob
