Back when POP3 was a live protocol, by far the best POP3 
implementation was Qualcomm's QPopper.

These days, I'd probably install the combined IMAP/POP configuration 
from UW (see <ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/imap.tar.Z>), or 
maybe dovecot (see <http://www.dovecot.org/>).  If you want something 
with better performance that will act as a pure e-mail blackbox, then 
Cyrus (see <http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/imapd/>).  Cyrus is more 
difficult to install, but does perform and scale a lot better.
