whichever isp you use to connect, do you have a email address for the same, if you are able to connect to the pop3 server of the isp, try pinging, it will most probably not ping.
if smtp of gmail is working (someone wrote this) try pinging that also, this will be also not permitted, it is possible that the pop3 server of gmail is over loaded, or may be slow. i do not know what is the infrastructure of the pop3 service of gmail.
most probably this is a problem with speed, as pop3 takes much more bandwidth to download mails, browsing and downloading as well as smtp will work fine but pop3 will give problems when it comes to delay or speed issues.
