Thanks.  POP3 works here with this configuration.
[Oberon-pop3]
client = yes
accept = localhost:110
connect = ccx.websitewelcome.com:995

With this configuration ... 

[http-to-https]
client = yes
accept  = localhost:80
connect = en.wikipedia.org:443

... Firefox continues to access http servers as if stunnel 
isn't present and the http-only client freezes when a connection 
is expected.  I don't understand this case.

Anyone have any other ideas to offer?

Thanks again Thomas.  Good to have POP3 secured,
