Don't do remote tunneling -- first, you don't need it for POP3, since you just
have to forward your local port 110 to the POP server's port 110 (ditto smtp);
second, you can't bind to port 110 on the remote machine, because it's a UNIX
box and won't let non-root users bind to ports less than 1024.
Just forward 110 and 25 locally to 110 and 25 on the proper remote machine,
and point your POP and SMTP clients at 127.0.0.1
