It didn't make your list, John, but I use ipop3, a very simple drop-in
POP3 server that ships with Red Hat. I would NOT use this if I had a 
lot of users (like if I were an ISP, I use others when I wear THAT hat).
however, if the answer to the question from above is "yes" and you
merely want a simple POP3 server for bang around the house, it's just
swell... I've never had a problem with it regrdless of the "mention-
ability" of the MUAs involved...
