I had a similar problem to you.
I start with FreeSMTP then if the mail is stuck at Demon I use POP.

I changed the Mailbox file to <SMTPServer$Dir>.MailDir.spool.mqueue
(in the settings window) then all incoming mail is sent to the same
directory as FreeSMTP. I also changed the Mail File name to "alan"
(in the users window) so as to append my mail to any already received
by FreeSMTP.

This is working well for me.
