The solution I found was to convert all mailboxes to Maildir.  The Little
Prince (http://www.asteroid-b612.org/software/) has a patch that works
very well to add Maildir support to qpopper. Sendmail can deliver through
procmail which needs just a few config changes (including one to the
source) and it works fine.  Then you can run Courier-IMAP  on the same
machine (and if you wish just accepting connections from your webmail box)
for Squirrelmail.  Courier-IMAP has a few issues with quotas (at least on
FreeBSD), but never had any problems with mailbox corruption or
performance.  And you can have simultaneous POP3 and Webmail sessions -
just only one of them will get the mail first.
