The source for the ipop3d server is included in the UW IMAP Toolkit 
available from

	ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z

The IMAP toolkit (distributed as part of the Pine sources, or available
separately from ftp.cac.washington.edu:mail/imap.tar.Z) includes a POP2 
and POP3 server.  These are in .../imap/ipopd

Pine also permits POP access as an undocumented (and presently 
unsupported) capability.

Just to set expectations correctly:  Pine does NOT currently support the
"offline"  mail processing model which most people expect when they think of
POP.  (POP clients typically pull mail from a mail drop to a local INBOX.
Pine does not know how to do this.)

However, you may simulate normal POP client behavior with Pine by using a
program called "popclient" as a front-end to Pine.  This program was
mentioned on comp.mail.misc last month.  It pulls the mail from the mail drop
(POP server) and stores it locally, where Pine (or any other Unix mailer) may
open it as a local INBOX. 

Integral offline processing via IMAP (and quite possibly POP) is planned for
a future release.  Full "disconnected" operation, wherein a client cache of
messages may be resynchronized with the server, is also planned, but that is
even further out...
