I see.  If qpopper can do it via locking why not make your local MUA to
do the same.

maildrop package comes with lockmail for such need.  (I suspect procmail
comes with similar util.)  You just have to use such thing.

Also, use of maildir format instead of mbox avoids locking issue.

Ideally the one mbox should work, but I'm not sure that the MUA and 
getmail will each respect access by the other.  qpopper will respect  
getmail in access to the mbox and respond to the MUA with POP3. This 
at the cost of a second mbox and delays up to the retrieval interval 
of qpopper.

Thanks.  Stunnel appears to be the right answer here.  The example 
in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunnel with substitution of POP3 
for SMTP, is exactly the scenario I've described.

Further, the SMTP example allows the MUA to submit to the remote mail 
server directly rather than through exim4 on localhost.  The whole 
setup is simpler with Stunnel.

If Stunnel fails I'll consider that.

Thanks to everyone for all the feedback,... Peter E.
