I have a new user who can't POP his EX2K mailbox. The error Outlook and other email programs (OLEX, Pegasus) give is that the password is not valid or rejected, but I know the password is correct, because the user can log in to the domain with the same password just fine. Also POP is done internally, so there are no firewall issues and POP protocol is enabled both on the server and on user's mailbox.
I'm really baffled here. I've tried everything: resetting the password, forcing replication among DCs, but no luck. The only thing that may contribute to this is that we have 2 DCs here and EX may be talking to the one and not the other. Although when I check the replication in ReplMon, I see that both have the latest changes. I see that EX server has both DCs listed in its properties, but I cannot force to use one over the other or remove one of them. Could this be causing the problem and if so how can I fix it?

If this is normal, that's ok, I just thought it odd that different workstations had different messages.

I can see that as normal due to the network slowness but on some of the workstations rather than saying it's trying to retrieve from the exchange server Exh.st-anne.org it says it's trying to retrieve from one of the domain controllers (DC1.st-anne.org). Is this normal? I checked DNS and have only the one MX record pointing to the one Exchange server. Tried searching google and MS but can't figure out a series of search terms to give me any decent results.
