Haven't used poplib myself, but was intrigued.
Did you see this:
http://www.python.org/doc/lib/pop3-example.html
To me it looks like you are not setting the user/password.
So, maybe something like:
M = poplib.POP3(mailserver)
M.user(mailuser)
M.pass_(mailpasswd)
....

but I am getting error before that point and could not go to the user
account or pass.
M = poplib.POP3(mailserver)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\Python24\lib\poplib.py", line 96, in __init__
raise socket.error, msg
error: (10061, 'Connection refused')
