The current maintainer of mpop, Julien Louis <ptitlouis@sysif.net>,

Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please see

Description: POP3 mail retriever
mpop is a fast and simple fetchmail replacement to retrieve mail from POP3
servers. Its main features are header based mail filtering, multiple
authentication methods, TLS encrypted connections or delivery.
.
There are a few things mpop can do that fetchmail can't or that it
does better:
o mpop never ever tries to parse mail information except for the
envelope-from address, which is the bare minimum that it has to do.
o mpop never ever alters mail messages except for adding a "Received"
header, which is the bare minimum that it has to do.
o mpop uses several techniques (including pipelining) to reduce the
POP3 protocol overhead. It is therefore much faster than fetchmail.
o By default, mpop stores the mail UIDs (unique ids) in one file per
account. You can poll different mail accounts in parallel.
o The progress output is nicer ;-)
o You can pipe the headers of a mail through a filter that decides if
the mail should be downloaded, skipped, or deleted. This allows to
delete junk mail from a POP3 server without downloading the entire
message.
o mpop can deliver mails directly to mbox and maildir mail folders.
