HI.. this is actually windows problem but just to let you know, you may have choosen wrong POP method..
But somewhere I saw that you need to make sure that what ever domain it is, use domain in the mail server ie..

if mail is  abc@domain.com then use mail server as mail.domain.com but not some other domain provided by ISP (which is sometimes provided)

Second fix was to check for mail every 10 minutes or more instead of checking more frequently..

Third you can try .. as said earlier.. see of pop authentication method is proper.
