I don't know if the following is a "blanket" answer, but it
works on more then one provider.
* telnet your.pop.server 110
You should connect and see a line starting with +OK
* user YourAccount.YourUserid
You should get another +OK
* pass yourpassword
You should get another +OK
* Misc Commands:
* List = Display each message with its number (#) and size
* Dele # = Delete message number #
* Retr # = Display message #
* Quit = Close the Telnet session
* Top # Retr - Display the message header of message #
Good luck
