Can you confirm which mail app you're using and if you have the authentication turned on for your incoming mail server?
It's been a while since I setup my Mac mail but the incoming mail server port is definitely 110 when I last checked
Thanks,

Sounds like the settings you have there are correct then so I could do with checking a few more if that's OK?
- Are you connected to the internet via wireless or wired?
- Have you had any issues with browsing websites using the Mac?
- Have you altered any DNS settings in your router or on the Mac yourself recently?
- Are you able to send mail to an address to test the outgoing mail?
Thanks,
Adam C

If nothing has been changed then this leaves me a little stumped unless you have an issue with TCP/IP over wireless as outlined and fixed here.
Here's a quick breakdown of the fix from that thread:
Quote They probably did something like enter the address of their private DNS
server, or set up to use a proxy server.
To fix it, go into System Preferences, Network and double-click on the
Airport network interface.
First, look at the TCP/IP tab. It should be set to get its IP address
from a DHCP server, and the list of DNS servers should be empty.
Next, look at the Proxies tab. All of the proxy server options should be
unchecked.
When you find the offending setting and have fixed it, click the Apply
button.
If this isn't caused by the issue above is there any chance you could test this while wired to the router directly so that we can rule out the airport function?
Hope this helps,
Adam C
