That shuold work.  There are many POP3 implementations, and maybe you
encounted one which is again a little different :(  But it is a bit
hard to debug...

Can you have a look in the server's logs for a reason why this is
refused?  It seems that the connection is lost ($! = EBADF), but
why?  Some print-statemtents added to Mail::Transport::POP3 may help
to debug.  If you can give me access to the POP3 server, I can help
you... but otherwise you are mainly on your own... :-(

I hop you can help me fix this, for the benefit of everyone.
