your choice is POP3 or SMTP

the former is documented in RFC1939, the latter in RFC821 (as amended by
RFC1123). There are a number of related RFCs you should probably read as
well...

always start with the RFC-INDEX which will list the latest documents. 

All RFCs are available on ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/internic/rfc

BTW you've configured your newsreader wrong :( you would be well advised
to use a domain name after the '@' in the message ID
