Need an external pop3 Server and does not have shared Folders.

Outdated and crappy.
You can not access your mailbox, if there are messages comeing in.

I am using Debian and I have installed
courier-mta
mta-ssl
imap
imap-ssl
webadmin
pop3
pop3-ssl
authdaemon
base
faxmail
mlm
ssl
sqwebmail
I think, 'courier' is the most perfectly mailserver which exist.
OK, I like to see some more features in "faxmail" but...
