Probably not.


Recently, I changed to Fedorea Core 3 and I find that I can't get
successful
authentication of my password in order for POP3 to retrieve mail.


Try posting with examples of what you tried, which clients you tested. Did
you check to see if it was listening on the right port. What error messages
are you getting. Run it through a proxy or packet sniffer or learn the POP
commands and try it using telnet. Go read Eric S. Raymonds 'How to ask
questions...'

POP used to use clear text passwords - very insecure. I'm not very familiar
with RH., but its likely that cleartext auth is disabled.
