Check mail, enter your DECF password when prompted.  
Note: This is not the same as your APOP password. If you don't remember 
your DECF password, go see a lab staff during their Office Hours.

Please Note: POP makes a copy of your mail box whenever you check mail. This means that it can be VERY SLOW when you have a large mailbox. Your mailbox also becomes corrupt easily. If you must keep all your mail on the server, we highly recommend that you convert to IMAP. IMAP will only download the mail headers until you need to read the entire message; thus speeding up the download time. See Outlook IMAP-SSL for more information.
