Here is a paste of the stanza that does not work:

# poll mail.historicalMaterialism.info
#     service 110
#     proto POP3
#     user "brown@???
#     password "..."
#     sslproto ''

And here is the working stanza:

poll mail.historicalMaterialism.info
    service 110
    proto POP3
    user "brownh@???"
    password "..."
    sslproto ''

Do you see any difference?
