1 Greetings,
2
3 first some history. qpopper was masked a long time ago now but is still
4 installed and working on my Gentoo. Even if it doesn't show up anymore
5 on eix. But it does on eix-test-obsolete.

7 I don't like this situation and would like to get rid of qpopper and
8 replace it with another package. Nothing fancy, only to allow clients to
9 use POP3 on localhost.
10
11 Looking at the possibilities it seems I have to use popa3d which I know
12 nothing about. Experiments would be tricky because first I would have to
13 remove qpopper and would then have lost the current ability to use POP3.
14 And if there are difficulties with popa3d... ;)
15
16 Suggestions?
