Thanks for the encouragement Aaron. The funny thing was that the ports WERE open. I was able to telnet to both ports 110 and 25, and enter POP3 and SMTP commands. It seemed I was either having a problem with authentication (which I thought I had resolved when the errors stopped appearing), or the POP3 mail I was requesting didn't exist, or resided in another file other than what the POP3 system expected. I couldn't find anything that told me how to change the file locations (other than recompiling Sendmail, which I thought was an extreme step that shouldn't have been necessary).
I'll write my frustrations off as a learning experience (it was most definetly that), but I now have the core system I've been trying to build. Now I can move onto getting PostgreSQL installed/configured, as well as Tomcat (or JBoss) so I can begin developing JSP applications. Again, thanks for the support.

Unfortunately, things were getting to my guess: you didn't set up [x]inetd to offer POP/IMAP services. either that or there was a firewall rule blocking that port. those are really the only two rational possibilities.
