If the machine running the pop3 server is properly configured (no TCP
wrappers, no firewall, etc) from some other machine you should be able to:
telnet machine pop3 (whatever the machine's name is). If this fails but you
can do it from the machine running the pop server you have a) a network issue
b) an over secure problem (meaning something is protecting the pop server and
shouldn't be).
