Welcome to the forums

From the ZCS server are you able to telnet to port 110 on the remote POP3 server ? Perhaps IPtables is enabled and is blocking the outbound connection. Obviously when using Outlook that is being performed on your local workstation and not the server.

I am using SSL to connect securely so port is 995. I am not able to telnet on 995. I am running following command. Not sure wheather it is correct or not.

telnet -a <hostname>:995

telnet _host_ 995

I am able telnet to remote POP3 server on port 995 from ZCS server. It is showing as connected . However not connecting from zimbra.
