Are there any implementation (applet or application) of POP3(Post Office
Protocol Version 3 : RFC-1725) or IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol
Version 4 : RFC-1731)?

Any Java application or applet like pine or Eudora?

Thanks in advance

I would suggest telnetting to a popmail port and having a look around.
Its a text-based human-readable/writable interface with basic on-line
help. All a program has to do to check and retrieve messages is send the
right commands. Its almost trivial to implement basic functionality. If
you make a mistake or don't know what to type at any point, just enter
something and you will get a helpful message.
