> - If I set Port to a working non POP port (80, for example)

The POP3 protocol defines a greeting command that the server is required to 
send to the client upon initial connection.  TIdPOP3::Connect() waits for 
that greeting to arrive.  Port 80, however, is an HTTP port, not a POP3 
port.  The HTTP protocol has no greeting.  So Connect() establishes a 
connection to a server but then ends up waiting for data that never arrives.

Set the ReadTimeout property.  It is set to infinite by default.
