	I think you can get away with removing the reduntant parts of
fetchmail. You might not want support for everything from pop3 to imap
and what not.
	I think it can be implemented easily in C. A code for sending mail
from a smtp server is about 20-40 lines, so fetching mail from a pop3
server should not be too big. Anyway, fetchmail's code is always there to
guide you :-)
	But as someone suggested, try out others like popmail etc. IIRC
fetchmail was written as an extension of popmail.

	Bye and Enjoy Life...
