It just kind of seemed odd to me that I had to leave SMTP open in order to receive messages, as I thought that was what POP3 was for. I was sending the mail from a yahoo address outside the network to an address on the toaster, and I checked the mail from my linux box using Thunderbird.
As Bill stated, mail is delivered on port 25, and picked up on 110 (POP), 143 (IMAP), 993 (IMAP over SSL) or 995 (POP over SSL).
If you will only pick up email from your home network, you won't have to open up 110, 143, 993 and 995 on your router.
