Yes, what you do is give the command 
telnet server pop3 
it responds with the following :

Trying 128.127.50.39...
Connected to mail.teraltd.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK mail.teraltd.com POP3 3.3(20) w/IMAP2 client (Comments to MRC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

here you type 
user guest       ( or whatever login name ) 
it responds with 
+OK user name accepted password please
then type 
pass guest 
it responds with 
+OK mailbox open, 1 messagees 
then you can use LIST [msg], STAT, RETR [msg], DELE [msg], RSET , QUIT, ETC
I think help after login gives all these commands 
you can retreive or delete any of the messaages by giving the number
nps 


+OK mailbox open
