Problem
Given a remote POP3 server which provides SSL.  Also a MUA on a
local host, which retrieves by POP3 when activated by the user and
lacks SSL.  Try to move messages from the server to the MUA.

Candidate Solution
Let getmail, in the POP3-over-SSL instance, retrieve messages from
the server and queue in an mbox file.  Run qpopper to allow the MUA
to retrieve from the mbox on demand.

Questions
1. Rather than getmail and qpopper, can one software do this task?
   If so, which is recommended?
2. The documentation for qpopper suggests that it can only acquire
   messages from a spool.  If the answer to 1 is "no", is there
   some way to pipe messages directly from the retrieving POP3 to
   the delivering POP3?

Thanks,                 ... Peter E.
