I have received several e-mail responses, and some "me, too" queries, so I'm
summarizing:
There is a SVR4 implementation of POP3: its name is pop3-svr4 (obviously!).
I downloaded, compiled and installed it without any problem. Cool!
In addition, there exists the IMAP protocol, which has many advantages over
POP (and the limitation of fewer clients -now-), and *includes* POP as
a subset. The more recent version is imap-3.5. Both can be found in the
major FTP sites. Thanks for your answers!
