Funny, I didn't see any answer to this post, when
I found time to read the users-list. So perhaps
you might have found your darling by now .o)

If not you may want to have a look at
    http://www.eudora.com/qpopper/#30

The build went fine, but you will have to
spend some hours first, reading the READMEs
and the Makefile and figuring out where the
bins and config's are going to be, because the
defaults are different than the standard RaQ3 setup.
And don't forget to make backups .o)

But afterwards everything went fine.

Good luck
