POP3 separator character field on UI's Configuration page

I think you are referring to the CONFIGURATION page in POPFile's User Interface (UI). This page has a field where you can change the POP3 separator character from its default setting (which is a single colon character, as shown in the attached screenshot).

This field must have exactly ONE character in it. This is why you are getting an error message.

The "pop.gmail.com:al.griffin44" text which you are trying to enter should be entered into the account setting in your email program (Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora or whatever program you use to send and receive POP3 email).

There are step-by-step instructions for some email programs here:

If you need more help, it will be easier to respond if you use the HELP forum as it is easier to discuss things there instead of here in a ticket.
