With such a vage question I doubt you would find any answer at all
Is this a real question?

Of course you have to use a pop3 daemon. But qmail comes with one:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d. You just have to put it to listen in the pop
port (110). Use tcpserver or inetd if you must.
For instance (tcpserver):
#/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -P -H -R 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
/var/qmail/bin/auth_pop /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
rtfm anyway

Hmm? Through a mail client of course! Talking with the server. POP: the
last P means protocol :)
They just access it (traditionally $HOME/Maildir/).
Wanna know more read the RFC.
