BBS or Newtoncity email login

Have folks been succesful in signing into either the Newtoncity BBS or the newtoncity.org:2000 email? I am (obviously) registered and logging into newtoncity.org but the email site says "Wrong Password" (tried with Chrome on Win10, and FF/TenFourFox and Safari/LeopardWebKit on OS X Leopard). I register with the BBS software, and when I attempt to log in, it says 'Unknown User', using either the web interface or a telnet session.
Regards,

The BBS, email, and newtoncity areas are separate. The newtocntity.org:2000 site is where you want to create your email info for use with NewtonOS...

So what is so unique about the mail server here that makes it work well with the Newtons?

It doesn't require ssl/tls and supports both imap and pop3. Most servers these days require ssl/tls
