POP3 is 110 or 995
IMAP is 143 or 993 

587 is Submission Port for sending e-mails.

There is obviously something wrong in your config, but I fear you have
to show your whole ~/.wl and ~/.folders.

Have you tried to set/change wl-default-spec?

(setq wl-default-spec "&")

Sorry, I've never used POP3 in Wanderlust.

You can run "emacs -f wl" or put (wl) at the end of your .emacs file.
