allow specifying a port for mail watches

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Certain mail servers (ex: google) require exotic ports. The user should be
able to change that easily.

what we could do is to add this, between host and ssl:

Port (optional): [thedefaultport^]

where [  ^] is a "spinbox" widget like the "refresh interval" one. The
spinbox must allow values between 1 and 65535. The default port for each
protocol (ex: pop3) should be set there.

I will add it in the new version, but it will only be possible if you add it in 
the
configuration file yourself like this:
[watch pop3]
username = blabla
password = scecret
port = 999
....

It will not be possible to do this in the UI.

is that a design issue or a technical limitation?

Not having the port number in the UI?
I think the UI should only contains "basic" options...more advanced features 
will
only be used by advanced users who know how to edit the configuration file :)

of course the wiki has to describe how to edit it very clear when it is 
implemented
