It doesn't look like source - try looking for pcelm21.zip, about 117k.
It's for TC 1.5 and needed a bit of a massage to compile with BC 3.1 
Last year I started to update it, but it hasn't got very far at all.

Blimey !  I archive my mailboxes at about 20 messages.

As I recall it, the POP3 client I based YAN's version on only ever 
kicked the first one it found for the specified servername. YAN's 
current version can kick (and drop) all "servers" for a servername or 
just one selected by username.
Which source did you base your client code on ?
