And this pop3.el doesn't work with Gnu Emacs, correct too? There is epop3mail which is (I believe) a superset of the features available in Emacs pop3.el, XEmacs pop3.el and Gnus pop3.el. Maybe if it is recommended, people will start to use it and the other non-maintained (AFAIK) versions can be dropped or merged into one package. Assuming epop3mail is in a good legal shape, too. Or they could use a IMAP mail-source with the :dontexpunge flag, if the POP3-server talks IMAP too.
