If pop3.el can't connect via pop3-open-server, we've established the bug
outside of the rest of Gnus, so it's progress.

Can you look at the code for pop3-open-server?  It's not terribly
complicated.  You need to check your pop3-stream-type; depending on
whether it's 'ssl, 'starttls, or something else there are different
execution paths.  Here's an example:

(require 'pop3)
(require 'cl)
(let ((pop3-debug t)
      (pop3-stream-type 'ssl)) ;; or 'starttls or nil
  (pop3-open-server "pop3.mail.server" 110))

>From there, you'll move on to figuring out if open-tls-stream or
starttls-open-stream are the problem (my guess is that your problem is
not with a plain connection).  If you don't care about SSL or TLS, you
could just set pop3-stream-type to nil but your POP3 server may not
allow that.
