I tried to telnet but strangely I am getting an authentication error.

Look closely here. Are you sure there's not a salt being passed back,
something like:
+OK yourhost.top Cyrus POP3 v2.1.13 server ready
<email@hidden>
user john
+OK Password required for steve.
pass john
-ERR [AUTH] Password supplied for "john" is incorrect.
+OK Pop server at ns.whatever.com signing off.
Connection closed by foreign host.
The email user is email@hidden
The password is john
This is 100% sure
But I always get the authentication error.
You have to make sure you permit POP and aren't requiring APOP in
order for cleartext passwords to work. Otherwise you'll need to use
APOP and respond using the supplied salt.
I'll also not that you're using QPOP so this obviously isn't Mac OS X
Panther Server's mail facilities, you're running your own. This
implies your sysadmin knows how he configured authentication, ask
him/her. Youmay need to supply something different for username (e.g.
email@hidden) or authentication may be coming from some other
source (LDAP, MySQL, ...)
