I wasn't aware that ServerBeach sold 'servah's' ;).

POP3 should be working by default.
Are you able to log into your server at all through control panel or ssh?

make sure if this is a user you created for a domain that you are using the login information of the entire e-mail address... so the username to login should be username@myemaildomain.com not just username.

but it sounds like a simple login issue.

yea its a valid username and everything is right, it just doesnt want to work all the time, maybe its cox being stupid.
