Ideally the one mbox should work, but I'm not sure that the MUA and
getmail will each respect access by the other. qpopper will respect
getmail in access to the mbox and respond to the MUA with POP3. This
at the cost of a second mbox and delays up to the retrieval interval
of qpopper.

Thanks. Stunnel appears to be the right answer here. The example
in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunnel with substitution of POP3
for SMTP, is exactly the scenario I've described.
Further, the SMTP example allows the MUA to submit to the remote mail
server directly rather than through exim4 on localhost. The whole
setup is simpler with Stunnel.

If Stunnel fails I'll consider that.
Thanks to everyone for all the feedback, ... Peter E.
