Didn't upstream explain it? Just write
pop3.SoftHome.Net pop
to ~/.elm/mail.services. This works on PL95 as well.

("My" isn't strictly about ownership. You can say "damn, missed my
train" and it doesn't mean you own the railroad. :-)

I didn't say they should support IMAP. The server is broken in the
sense it doesn't return "Connection refused."

But it does! You just need to specify POP3 since guessing it is not
possible in this case.

Looking forward to it. :-)
