Sure, you can test by telnetting to the pop server at its port
(default 110): issue the initial telnet command, as below, and when
it replies type in the "USER" and "PASS" and "LIST" commands like
in the below example; if working it will let you login and display
any msgs. on the server.

you at client$ telnet server 110
Trying 192.168.1.2...
Connected to pop3.foo.bar.
Escape character is '^]'.
