If you're trying to pop emails off of a specific server, wouldn't you be better served contacting their administrative staff or a help-page? I'm not saying this to be snotty - I'm just not sure what anyone here will be able to tell you about the configuration of your email server, unless they have the same domain (or if this is some kind of public thing that I've just not heard of).

Also, FYI, losing boot.ini is not necessarily unrecoverable, though giving your machine a good format/re-install is probably a good thing. I'm going to be doing that at home with my own PC in the next few weeks.
