Bounce handling - how to set port number for POP server

Hi
Joomla 2.5.11
CiviCRM 4.3.3

I'm trying to get our bounce handling set up. We use gmail for the incoming bounce emails and need to set port 995 in the POP settings in CiviCRM. How do I set this up? There isn't a separate port number option in there

You can alternatively use IMAP protocol, works for me.
Username = example@gmail.com
localpart = example+
domain = gmail.com
protocol = IMAP
SSL = yes
Server = imap.gmail.com

IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times
