  I agree that having it as a PDF is somewhat of a pain, but it's very
  easy to open on a GUI and convert to text. 

  As for the security and efficiency I can personally attest that it has
  had less vulernabilities than WU's POP daemon and it blows the pants
  off it for speed.  I've been using it for 14k+ E-mail accounts for 
  over 3 years without incident. 

  I'd need twice the hardware if I were using WU's POP daemon. 

  Compared to every other POP daemon I've researched I wouldn't use
  anything else.
