You connected to the server on the regular telnet port (22, I
believe). That way you might or might not get access to the server
using a unix shell (depends on how the server is configured). Since
you are able to use pine, you really seem to be using some Unix shell.
But in order to access the POP3 server you need to connect to port
110. Either type "telnet hostname 110" or configure your telnet client
to use port 110 in another way.
Only then you get the POP3 interface and can use the POP3 commands.
