Netscape is a popular POP3 client - it's a bit on the heavy side for an
email program, though :)
I like to use pine for email - however, it has crappy POP3 support. What
I've done is to put calls to fetchmail (available as a .deb) in cron to
automagically download my email. Fetchmail is a program that will pull
email off a POP3/IMAP/CompuServe (remember them?)/What have you account,
and put it in your local mail spool.
Some other POP3 clients are XCmail, XFMail, TkRat, TkMail, Postillion, and
several more I can't name right off the top of my head. All of those
(except XCmail) are available as part of Debian.
