I have just sent my finished pop3.el (version 1.0) to Lars for
integration with Red Gnus.  I think anyone who reads mail from a POP
server will be quite pleased with the changes an Emacs Lisp
implementation will bring about.  Two notable things:

* Running count of messages retrieved.  Very nice to have when you are
  pulling 300 messages down over a modem link.  Win32 users rejoice :).

* If I can figure out the backend interface and spooling scheme,
  messages can be spooled directly into their correct folders, bypassing
  the crashbox stage (which is pretty much redundant given the nature of
  POP3 maildrops), dramatically increasing spooling speeds.  Or maybe
  someone else can cobble this together instead.
