A better option to qpopper and faster is fetchmail. It is usually
installed by default. At a terminal window, type fetchmailconf. a
prety self explanatory GUI will crop up. Should get you popping mails
from all over.

Now this is something else. Probably your account does have 0
messages. Does Netscape Messenger see any messages there? You say
you've sent 20-30 mails to it, but are they really reaching it?
Check. Use a dedicated mail client like balsa,kmail, netscape
messenger, spruce...while you are setting up the perfect mail
combination for yourself.
