His post doesn't indicate the client is trying SSL. (See the line Secure
(SSL):No) What he is getting is a socket error. Look for things that would
prohibit a connection. These things could be something like...

1) Client uses the MS proxy client and needs to set a rule in the client
configuration file to allow port 110 and 25.

2) User may not have a valid ip configuration for his environment. (e.g.
check network configuration)

3) personal firewall may be blocking the application from opening a port

4) corporate firewall may be blocking the host from reaching the pop/smtp
server (this one is easy to check for. open a command prompt and type
netstat -n when doing a send/receive. if you see a SYN_SENT next to the IP
address that represents the POP/SMTP server, then there is a device on the
network that is prohibiting the connection.)
