I will look, thanks.  However, I need something that can work on
Windows as well as Unix, and prefer non-Cygwin ports.  Do you know
about Windows ports of Mailutils?

I'm not sure.  From what I've read, adding APOP should not be too
hard, and having movemail in the Emacs distro has a significant
advantage of being able to have a working mail setup with no extra
work beyond installing Emacs.
