The recently released vm package is supposed to be able to talk POP,
though it currently doesn't work very well if it can't reach the POP
server. I have a script which I used to download pop mail into my home
mailbox and use that instead - cheaper than leaving the phone connected
while I'm reading mail. You might be able to adapt that to do the right
thing for you.
(vm is a MUA written in emacs lisp, like Rmail.)
That only helps if you want to use vm. I'm finding X+emacs+vm a little
painful in 8Mb, tho it's perfectly OK without X.
