Have you tried telnet?  That could be of some help.

Fields marked with <> have to be replaced with info
from your case.

telnet <address of mailserver> 110

When you get a connection (sample session):

USER <your email username>
PASS <your password>
LIST
QUIT

Be aware of that the password will be displayed
in clear text there.  LIST will give you a list
of available mails there.  I am assuming that you
have a regular pop3 account.

Hope this is of some help.
