This may sound odd, but do you have Norton Antivirus installed?
NAV 2000 (or 2001 or 2002) actually installs a POP relay. What it means
is that the message only gets returned to the client when it has been
completely downloaded and has been checked for viruses. This means that you
will not see progress in downloading messages... Only the final result.
While it assures no viruses, should you have a large attachments or large
e-mail as message 14, you will not know why it is just sitting there.
Try telnetting to the pop server (telnet <ip> 110)
USER <username>
PASS <password>
LIST
If that shows some really large number (bytes) besides message 14, you'll
know why.

that.
