As a few people suggested, this problem turned out to be unrelated to POP or
SMTP. I recently added a new terminal server but misentered one of the routes
necessary to reach it. The user was attempting to access the email, but the
email server was unable to reroute back to the user, hence, serveral
connections were staying open and causing others to time out.
By correcting my route, the problem was solved.
