no pop3 access in rc1

[Guest]

I ran the port query tool and got:
=============================================

Starting portqry.exe -n 127.0.0.1 -e 995 -p TCP ...


Querying target system called:

127.0.0.1

Attempting to resolve IP address to a name...


IP address resolved to xxxxx

querying...

TCP port 995 (pop3s service): NOT LISTENING
portqry.exe -n 127.0.0.1 -e 995 -p TCP exits with return code 0x00000001.

Same results for ports 25 and 110. So how do I fix this? I've tried adding
these ports to the exceptions list in windows firewall. Windows mail is
already in that list. I disabled the firewall, antivirus email scanning...
None of that did anything. I keep getting

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'MSN', Server:
'pop3.email.msn.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket
Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Help.

I use Hotpop to access hotmail in vista.
there are similar programs for G-mail and Y-mail.

From what I can see, you are "qasking" your computer if it is
*listening* for _incoming_ connections on ports 25,110 and 995.

You "fix" it, by installing a local mail server om you
computer..........
