The first digit of the port is getting overwritten by an extraneous
colon for some reason.  It ends up as (I rationalised the
credentials):

https://user:p...@server6.spellings.net::083/frontend/x3/mail/addfwd.html
                                        ^
Then it tries to resolve "server6.spellings.net:" as the hostname.
