If indeed I were to going to switch at some point, I'd need to replace the UW POP3 server (which is a part of the UW package). I would prefer one that actually used the dovecot IMAP server instead of going to the filesystem directly.
Why? Smaller chance of screwups if they don't have compatible file locking, or making authentication configuration easier? I don't think either is much of a problem though.
I've been thinking of making a Dovecot POP3 daemon as well. POP3 protocol is so simple that it doesn't take many hours to implement it, especially because I've tried to keep the IMAP protocol isolated from the actual functionality (I didn't fully succeed in it, but well enough). Anyway, this probably won't come that soon, IMAP part still needs much to do.
If you really need mbox POP3 server, I'd suggest popa3d.
