How to retrieve an email from a server using telnet
To troubleshoot POP3 issue, you can telnet to port 110 to diagnose the connection. You can also use telnet retrieve an email from a remote server.

To test the connection, use this command: Telnet IP_address_of_server or hostname110

To retrieve email using POP3 use these command:

USER domain/Windows_NT_account/Exchange_mailbox (identifies the mailbox you want to open)

PASS Windows_NT_domain_password (the password for the mailbox)

LIST (shows a list of available messages and their size)

RETR message number (retrieve a message)

Other useful commands are dele, top and quit.

Here is the example of retrieving email from ms-mvps.com

This page descript how to send email using port 25.

While Robert's answer was useful for a differernt question
(and I am saving it for that) the link doesn't really address
SMTP and the simple command it gives definitely doesn't
deal with authentication.

You have to know the authentication method -- I have done
it with MD-5 by running a perl script to produce my password
hash for pasting into the SMTP-Telnet session.

What authentication method are you required to use?

(I have doubts about getting MS-Integrated to work this way.)

What are you really trying to accomplish by connecting?
