Since demon.nl has moved to being hosted by another ISP (it was
purchased), you almost certainly don't want to be using this type; it's
only still useful for customers of demon.co.uk.

I _think_, but am not 100% certain, that you're being misled by the way
that the account information is displayed to you. What you're being
shown is "account@server", but the only bit sent in the USER command is
the account bit.

"getmail -v", or perhaps "getmail --trace" for even more detail, will
show you exactly what is going on.
