I'm using VM 6.71/Xemacs under FreeBSD and NT and it supports POP3 but 
not IMAP (http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~smikes/emacs/vm-faq.html)

I've been trying different MUAs that would allow me to read my mail
under FreeBSD and NT (dual boot laptop) while sharing the same mail
folders (shared DOS partition).  So far, only VM/Xemacs allowed me to
do that. Even Netscape FreeBSD/NT use different mechanisms to build
its "folder summaries" :(

Unfortunalty, VM is a memory hog when your mail files starts to grow.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has a similar config. (i guess
this should go in the freebsd-questions list?)
