powerful, pop support with the vm package. To configure pop access in vm=
=20
the configuration file $HOME/.vm
      should contain a line
      (setq vm-spool-files '("mail.ifh.de:110:pass:USERNAME:*"))
      where USERNAME has to be replaced by the accountname.=20

Looking around, I believe at this time that most of the really good mode=
s=20
(ie anything beyond rmail and mail) support both.

info, the current dirstirbution should be better)


and, looking on mail list archives, VM and mh-e both support IMAP4 and=20
pop3 at this time.

Best thing to do, if you already use emacs, is grab the packages with=20
info docs and go for it. :)
