W2k3 and pop3

I have just installed Windows Server 2003 (Basic/Standard) and it seems that
everything works but the pop3 service, which I install but then no client
e-mail program works (Outlook, Outlook Express), claiming that the server
is there -- is available -- but that it can't log in as the user and
password isn't right....
What is going on?
Thanks.

Might want to check out the POP3 tutorial at www.ilopia.com

May be this ..
If you created your own domain say xyz.com and added users to that domain
an example say 'tom' then in the email client the username should be '
(E-Mail Removed) '
and not only ' tom '

This depends on if you use SPA or not.
