IIRC, pop3.el was intended to be a replacement for movemail, similar
to smtpmail.el being a replacement for sendmail, and for the same
reasons: on some systems, movemail may not exist.

I might be wrong, though, I've just been coding *very* stupid stuff
for the past two hours.  Don't you hate these the-code-is-almost-but-
not-exactly-the-same-so-cut-and-paste-doesn't-work things, too?

Oh the joys of object-orientation: you get less code reuse.  Grmpf.
