The MUA lacks locking. I would have to write it.

maildrop or procmail would solve the POP3 requirement. stunnel is a
more general solution available to other protocols. As mentioned
in the previous message, once stunnel is working the MUA can SMTP in
Stunnel directly to the remote MTA. If eventually I can remove exim,
so much the better.

The MUA understands mbox and not maildir.
