Hello Steven

Thanks for using Microsoft Online Support.

A quick way to test and make sure POP3 is working on the server is to open
a command prompt on the server itself. Type telnet localhost 110 and press
enter if that connects you should see the POP3 header. If it doesn't
connect make sure the Microsoft Exchange POP3 service is started. Once you
verified that POP3 is working on the server, we need to make sure we can
access 110 from the internet. If the server has 2 network cards one
internal and one external, then you need to create a packet filter for port
110 in rras if it is standard or in ISA if premium. This can be
accomplished by running the CEICW. Then if you have a router or firewall
you will need to publish port 110 on the router to forward the inbound
traffic to the server. You should then be able to telnet to the public ip
address on port 110. Then you should be able to download the email using a
POP3 Client.

I hope this helps
