Okay, so checkpassword works fine. Try telneting to your pop3 port and
logging in manually. Your session should go something like this:

  % telnet localhost pop3
  Trying 127.0.0.1...
  Connected to localhost.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  USER username
  +OK
  PASS yourpassord
  +OK
  LIST
  1 1268
  2 1314
  3 1138
  4 3399
  5 1049
  .
  QUIT
  +OK
  Connection closed by foreign host.
  % 

If this works, then your problem is most likely with Outlook itself.
