  Does anybody know of a solid version of popper for FreeBSD?

  I tried the Qualcomm version (2.2), which 1) does not use the .lock
locking convention and 2) does not preserve the date/time of the
original mailbox if there are not any modifications.  This creates havoc
for users who use both pop and shell.

  I also tried the imap-uw version but it doesn't work correctly with
/var/mail type formats (it insists on looking for INBOX vs.
/var/mail/user).  I didn't investigate much further.

  I guess we'll have to start doing some hacking if this is the best we
can find out there.

  Thanks,

  Tim
