Yes.  
It's heinous.  (ugly, slow, not the best layout, not as intuitive as it 
should be,...)
It's a Hypercard stack, and it uses POP2.

Not the prettiest face, but it's a real app.  (It's not as intuitive as
it should be, but it's fast, and is much easier to configure)
Uses POP3.

In both cases, the price is right.  In both cases, the manual is
unusable due to the brain-dead app that they are formatted for.
