qpopper2.4 for NextStep
I downloaded the latest version of qpopper (2.4) in :
ftp://ftp.peak.org/pub/next/submissions/qpopper.2.4.NIHS.bs.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.peak.org/pub/next/submissions/qpopper.2.4.NIHS.bs.README
and most likely will move to:
ftp://ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/mail/qpopper.2.4.NIHS.bs.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/mail/qpopper.2.4.NIHS.bs.README
The latest (freeware) version of qpopper can always be obtained from :
ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/popper
This version of qpopper has been compiled quad-fat (next/inter/hppa/sparc) using
the GNU dbm library. In the qpopper directory I have included the libgdbm.a,
which can be found in the qpopper.2.4.NIHS.bs/gnu directory. The GNU library
is also compiled quad-fat (test/conversion programs included).
To compile(if desired), install and configure qpopper read the files
INSTALL and qpopper-NeXT.rtf in the qpopper.2.4.NIHS.bs directory.
While qpopper is compiled quad-fat I have only tested it in my home machine
next/motorola running NS3.3.
I have no idea if it compiles/runs on OpenStep.
Enjoy.

Here is the Qpopper README file
Welcome to Qpopper, a POP3 server for most versions of UNIX
------------------------------------------------------------
What is Qpopper?
----------------
Qpopper supports the widely used POP3 protocol for downloading Internet
e-mail used by many popular e-mail clients. Qopper does not include a
message transfer agent or SMTP support and normally works with standard
UNIX mail transfer agents such as sendmail or smail.
Installing and documentation
----------------------------
The file INSTALL gives detailed install instructions. If you want to get
started quickly, usually you can type "configure" to generate the Makefile
for your platform, and then type "make".
Detailed documentation is available the doc directory. In particular the
file doc/Release.Notes describes the changes from one version to the next.
