there should have been a 

  POP3: ........ [rx] +OK <...@...>

first -- was one sent by tpop3d?

Are you sure there was nothing after +OK?

`+OK Welcome aboard!...' isn't a STAT response, it's the
banner printed by the server when a user logs in. The
above listing is out-of-sequence; `+OK Tell me your
password' should follow `USER xyz' and `+OK Welcome aboard
should follow PASS'. I don't understand where the first
`+OK' came from. Can you tell me more about the Outlook
configuration here?
