This is going to sound like a dumb question, BUT are you
ABSOLUTELY sure you have the correct
a: pop3 server address
b: user id (some servers require the @domain.com)
c: password (Case sensitive)

If you are sure about above, can you ping your POP3 mail
server from the SBS box ?

I just go to the command prompt at the server and open a telnet
session to the isp. You can see right away that you do not know the
user name or password.

telnet isppopserver.com 110
user xxxxx
pass xxxx

You may want to open telent first and type set local_echo so you can
see on your screen what you are typing. Once you have turned on the
local echo you type open isppopserver.com 110
