I'm also a happy user of movemail compiled with POP.
Movemail can perform various forms of automatic authentication (APOP
(similar to rsh/rlogin), KPOP (Kerberos)), depending on what
compile-time options are used. If I didn't want this support, I'd
probably use pop3-movemail.
APOP is non-trivial though since the APOP code disappeared from the
FSF distribution about Emacs 19.29, and even if you resurrect the
required code, it needs to be installed setuid root. But I made the
changes locally and I'm reasonably happy with it.
