Ok, it looks like the pop3 settings in Outlook 2003 aren't quite right

doublecheck them, especially the username and password, see if you can log into the webmail with the username and password you have saved in Outlook 2003

The reason I say this is because there has to be a simple reason you can't access the email in outlook, the reason outlook express picks them up is because the details are correct there.

Outbound (SMTP) Email doesn't need the authentication inbound (pop3) does. it's possibly something as simple as a comma instead of a period in the pop3 server name in outlook.
