you could take my limbo pop module, but i think limbo
only comes with the vita nuova distribution:

    http://www.planete.net/~boyd/code/pop.bundle

i could be wrong.

or you could port a unix pop client to plan 9:

    http://www.planete.net/~boyd/code/mace.bundle

which does:

    pop [ -delete ] [ -n number ] [ -r [ seconds ] ] [ -s spooldir ] [ -t ] [
[user@]server ]

using the rough [2 day] port i did in '94 might help:

    http://www.planete.net/~boyd/code/9mace.bundle

'cos you really need the library, for the various dynamic
data structures i invented.  but you could probably get
away with just lineio.[ch] as the client isn't very demanding
on the library.

i've been meaning to write a popfs for inferno, but that'll have
to wait.  maybe i'll do it in oz.  i'd probably be better off playing
guitar, given i'll be on vacation, or writing a book 'parisien daze'.
