It appears that your ISP has implemented a POP-before-SMTP strategy, to
keeep spammers from relaying mail through their servers.  IMO your ISP
has taken a good step toward reducing the flow of spam in the world.

That having been said, you simply need to telnet to your ISP's mailserver
on port 110, passing your user name and password.  110 is the POP3 port.

But, it would seem to me (as an ISP) that if you're already running the
Netscape program to send the mail in question, why not go ahead and pull
down your mail while you're att it?
