I feel that fetchmail is probably the best POPclient.  Unlike some other
POP clients, it's design to work with the other components of your mail
handling system (so fetchpop delivers to my qmail client which then pipes
to procmail over the forward mechanism, which sorts the messages, bursts
all digests, and delivers to the appropriate MH folder.

Rather neat, actually.
