There was a short discussion here about virtual services ... you can keep your pop3 password in anything supported by pam modules (like ldap, db, sql database, radius or anything ) there is also Mr Reed's patched gnu-pop3d which enables you to have completely separate passwd file for your pop3 users. I prefer pam solutions since it cleaner. just select your pop3 server with pam support (eg: solid-pop3d, ipopd, gnu-pop3d, cucipop for non-commercial use) and edit it's pam config : /etc/pam.d/spop3d, gnu-pop3d, pop, etc..
