My ISP's mail servers have become extremely slow and unreliable, sometimes taking minutes to download, send, or delete mail, considerably slowing down my ability to work. Deleted mail often reappears at the next sync.
Since I have a server on my LAN running mail/postfix which already relays many of my incoming domains to my ISP, I'd like to add a POP server and store mail on that box to be picked up from there by the client on my desktop machine, leaving the ISP's server out of the process for receiving (and possibly sending) mail. I chose POP because I don't think I need the facilities of IMAP as I only have one inbox and store everything else locally.
The problem I've hit is that all the POP3 servers I've found in Ports are old and unmaintained, the newest, mail/popa3d, dating from 2012. I know POP is a very old-fashioned protocol not much used these days, but I would hope there's a modern, reasonably light program to handle it when needed.
What would people here recommend for getting mail from an inbox on my FreeBSD server to claws-mail running on my (Linux) desktop machine?
