I believe this pertains to a GoDaddy account. They use a rather ancient server
which is not compatible with Vista's autotuning. Try this procedure:

a. Go to the Vista start menu and type cmd
b. The search results will display a program named cmd.exe
c. Right-click on the link and select "Run as administrator"
d. type "netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled" without
the quotation marks
e. Test your POP account and see if it works now.
f. If no success, re-enable Vista's autotuning feature by typing
"netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=normal"
