I've had varying success with using movemail compiled with POP.  It
doesn't work on Xemacs 19.15, it normally works on GNU emacs 19.34, on
Solaris 2.5 machine (didn't work on Ultrix 4.4), but not on all
Solaris machines, and not against all servers, and since I hacked
myself away from using POP, I haven't gotten 'round to investigating.

Hm... I was looking into hacking a new mail package, to use POP, but I
then shelved it, after advice from (among others) Rich.  The
discussion took part some time in spring.  Should be in the archive.
