[ale] pop3 questions

I'm running RH7.1.

How do I specify the username and password for each pop3 account? Does each
login have to by a system username and password?

I'm able to use telnet to log into my box as follows:
telnet localhost 110
USER my_user_name
PASS my_password

Then it tells me I have no messages. How do I go about creating some test
messages to read so I know that pop3 access is working? I saw what looked
like a file w/ system e-mail messages in /var/mail/root. I tried copying
/var/mail/root to var/mail/my_user_name, but it still said I had no messages
when I telneted under my_user_name/my_password.

Thank you,
Mike
