Hi Managers,
Thanks to everyone that answered. I have gotten the daemon, installed it and
it does not seem to work with TCP/connectII that I have on the MAC.
But his is a subject for longer investigation here, before I ask the net again.

The answers:
From: Nick Cuccia <cuccia@eris.berkeley.edu>
There are several POP2/POP3 daemons available. If you're able to use anon.
ftp, check out /pub/popper on mailhost.berkeley.edu, and
/pub/POPmail/{macintosh,unix} on boombox.micro.umn.edu. The UCB machine
has a POP daemon that runs on UNIX boxes, and the UMN machine has POP clients
for Macs.

The POP server is available via anonymous ftp from lilac.Berkeley.EDU
(128.32.136.12). It is in two files in the pub directory: a compressed
tar file popper.tar.Z and a Macintosh StuffIt archive in BinHex format
called MacPOP.sit.hqx

* They are the Post Office Protocols.
* Mail systems like like MH support it I believe.

try telnet to archie.mcgill.ca (132.206.2.3) login archie and issue
the command prog pop3 (or pop2) This will locate every host that has
in its anonymous ftp directory the programs you ask for. I am using
the pop and pop3 protocols running on a sparc ss2 and we can send and
receive mail from a banch of PCs running PC/NFS and PC/TCP+

Do you need the Sun daemon? You're best bet is popper from berkeley.
Quoting from the README file: How to Obtain the Server
The POP server is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.CC.Berkeley.EDU
(128.32.136.9, 128.32.206.12). It is in two files in the pub
directory: a compressed tar file popper-version.tar.Z and a Macintosh
StuffIt archive in BinHex format called MacPOP.sit.hqx.
Since your Mac users already have their mail client, all you really
need is the popper tar file. The other is a Mac Email client based on
Hypercard.

you want `popper', which is available from several anonymous ftp
sites. check the archie service for the location of a site near you...

From: John_Vogtle.Wbst147@xerox.com
You need to run a pop daemon on your mail server machine. In my previous life
at Syracuse University, we implemented a program called "popper" that does just
that. The source is availble from one of Berkeley's machines via anonymous
ftp. Let me know if you need more information.
