that's not really enough information to go on to be able to help you. try
describing the topology of your local network and how it's hooked to the web.
you say you're running both pop3 and imap servers--is this on the one box?
what do you mean by 'when i try to get my mail'--you need to describe the
environment you're working with/in.
the fact that you're consistently getting the same error means that you're
consistently making the same mistake. perhaps a better description of your
setup process might reveal what that is.
