I've been using gnu-pop3d forever, and it now seems that many services / clients require "UIDL" capability on the POP3 server level, and gnu-pop3d apparently doesn't support it.  I'm just wondering what any/everyone would recommend as a good, similarly-solid replacement?  Or is there a trusted place that has a UIDL-capable version?  This seems like it might be promising..

I suggest you look into Dovecot. I can't give really convincing, 
technical reasons for liking Dovecot other than it being fairly 
featureful, very flexible, and fairly easy to work with. As for keeping 
the UIDLs in tact, take a look at the following link to see if there are 
any applicable instructions:

I would consider Dovecot ready for primetime. After all, it is now the 
default POP3/IMAP server in RHEL5.
