I agree with your rationales, but I've got a couple of further

Missing word (you caught the first case of this): _by_ running.

"Several webmails" is wrong, but so is plural "softwares"; "webmail
sites" is okay, though, and I revommend using it in the short
description too.

"Eventually" is a false friend; here I'd go for "optionally".

_Description: Start freepopsd automatically after each boot?
The FreePOPs daemon can be started automatically after each boot.
By default, it will bind to port 2000. This setting may be changed by
editing the /etc/default/freepops file.

_Description: Create a chroot jail for freepops?
FreePOPs can be launched in a chrooted environment to improve the
system's security.
.
The jail will be created in /var/lib/freepops/chroot-jail/.
The regular init script will then take care of launching the daemon
by calling a script named start.sh at the root of the chroot jail.

_Description: Remove local updates on upgrade?
The freepops-updater-fltk or freepops-updater-dialog utilities will
install local updates in /var/lib/freepops/lua_updates.
.
Such updates are usually integrated in further FreePOPs releases or
can be downloaded again by running the updater. Therefore, they
may safely be removed when the package is upgraded.
.
The modules saved in /var/lib/freepops/lua_updates have a higher
priority than those from /usr/share/frepops/lua. It is thus
recommended to remove them in order to avoid using outdated modules,
unless you intend to freeze the local modifications regardless of
FreePOPs updates.
