At present there is no local DNS server. Will I have to setup local DNS
too.

If you have local mail server then local DNS is must, otherwise optional.

When the user puts say pop3.gmx.net as pop server, it should be
resolvable isn't it ? What changes I have to make in the windows client

You have to tell Win to look up some DNS server on the net. Like with 202.54.1.30 (dns.vsnl.net.in). If you have used DHCP then it can be fed to every node during boot. Otherwise put in Network Properties - TCP/IP - DNS.
If you have local DNS then configure same as above and configure DNS to forward unresolved qeuries to 202.54.130.

Will directly giving the pop3 server name of gmx and user id and
password as we normally do for pop3 retrieval will work ?

Yes, it will. It does for me.
