Hi
you can use qpopper
download the depot here:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Mail/qpopper-2.53/

or
make it from source:

http://www.qpopper.com/

and add this line to /etc/inetd.conf

pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/popper popper -s -d -c -t /var/adm/syslog/popper.log

I modified the inetd.conf.

I was installed with swinstall but no run

I compiled, without problem but no run.

Which the problem ?

after you modifed inetd.conf
you have to run

inetd -c
that rereads the changes that you made to your inetd.conf file
