Try checking the Authentication Type for the POP account. It is located in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > selected account > Advanced

10.8 tends to use Apple Token. I think you will need to use a type of MD5 Challenge-Response or Password.

Check the Port number for the account on the 10.8 client. I often find that it often won't use the right Port number when setting up new email accounts.
