POP3 access to Compuserve mail

It turns out that AOL (which Compuserve ended up as part of) has some sort of deal whereby there’s a password that’s specific to a mail app. Under the guidance of an AOL tech, I got a new password to my Compuserve account for my K-9 mail app, and now it works. My desktop mail app (The Bat!), Compuserve webmail, and my old Samsung Mail app also still work, too, with the previous password. Everything now seems to work, although I still don’t quite understand why.
