You didn't try very hard!

http://www.demon.net/connect/dial-up/services/pop3.html

is the user's guide. There's a link to 'SDPS Technical Specification' at
the bottom. This gives details of the rather usefull extensions demon have
added to POP 3, and includes a link to RFC 1939 which is the offical POP 3
standard.

Feel free to take a look at the source of my client (see below) to see how
it's done, but bear in mind the GPL prohibits any use of my actual code
in commercial software.
