The MUA lacks locking.  I would have to write it.

maildrop or procmail would solve the POP3 requirement.  stunnel is a 
more general solution available to other protocols.  As mentioned 
in the previous message, once stunnel is working the MUA can SMTP in 
Stunnel directly to the remote MTA.  If eventually I can remove exim, 
so much the better.

> Also, use of maildir format instead of mbox avoids locking issue.

The MUA understands mbox and not maildir.
