Have you tried connecting to the POP server with telnet and debugging
the conversation? POP3 is a very chatty protocol, and rather easy to
debug. See the POP3 RFC (I don't remember the number off the top of
my head) for more information.
Also, if you pop mail client supports it, turn on debugging and watch
the converstation between client and server. Perhaps this will help
explain where it goes wrong.
