Here is sth relatable. But I am not sure what should I type in along with telnet to connect to gmail pop server?

I tried telnet pop.gmail.com 110

and telnet pop.gmail.com 995
but both of them didn't worked. One showed could not connect error message. Another didn't showed any output and instead took cmd to refresh on administrator.
Any guide here? I just want to understand what these commands are doing so that I can prepare my notes with confidence. Thanks for support.

Most POP servers are behind SSH daemons and so you can't just telnet in.

I wouldn't waste your time on this, just read about what a POP server does on Wikipedia and move on.
