Do you have a pop-3 server installed or configured? Check
/etc/inetd.conf for a line about pop-3 and make sure it's not commented
out. Then check to make sure that you installed pop-3 (it's part of the
imap packager under RedHat).
Some of these things are not installed or enabled by default to
make sure you know they are there and have them configured before offering
the service to the internet. Older versions of Pop and Imap were notorious
for security holes. They're better now, but nobody wants them enabled
by default.
