Many providers don't allow users to access their mailboxes with traditional e-mail client (Mail, Outlook, Eudora ...). For many users the only access method is the web-mail interface that is often not flexible and efficient enough. To restore traditional POP3 access the project FreePOP started at Sourceforge.net. MacFreePOPs provides a Mac GUI access to the FreePOP system. For use with Hotmail, Yahoo!, and many others.
