Telnet on Vista

A really stupid question: is there a telnet program or Windows equivalent on
Vista - as used when investigating email problems and you need to telnet to
the POP and/or SMTP servers? I couldn't find one from the Command Prompt and
a Find on hypertrm* didn't find anything either.

Tick the box for "Telnet Client" or "Telnet Server"

You can gain access to your pop3 mailserver from any PC via the
following site :-

www.mail2web.com

It's much quicker than going through the telnet login dialogue.
You'll be able to remotely delete mail on the server from mail2web.
