Unable to get telnet to work and test pop 995 port

Trying to test email login issues on a cpanel server. Telnet isn't working to test port 995. Keep receiving connection closed by foreign host error. Thanks!

Telnet is installed and firewalls open. Not able to figure this out.

995 is the port for POP3 with implicit TLS. Use openssl instead. For example:

openssl s_client -quiet -crlf -connect pop.gmail.com:995
