Thanks to the replies that I received on this.  
For those who wish to know here's what I did. I changed the POP server to one
I got from boombox.micro.umn.edu; pub/unix/popd.c.  I also changed to a newer
Popmail; from V2.1 to V2.2beta3, everything works fine now.
I have subsequently changed to a POP3 server, popper, which can be found just
anywhere.  This also works.
