[NTLUG:Discuss] Where is POP3?

I'm in the process of freeing up a server so that I can finally upgrade 
the OS.  

I have Fetchmail working in its new location (CentOS 4) and sendmail is 
properly delivering the mail to the user boxes.  I need pop3 
functionality so the windows clients can retrieve their mail.

Under RH8, pop3 was an extended service.  I can't find it there under 
CentOS 4, so either it has moved, or (more likely) I haven't installed 
the package containing pop3.  

What am I looking for? (I understand RTFM and I've spent a little over 
an hour looking for the answer on my own, but I'm tired of trying to 
figure out how to "turn the lights on" again.)

[When I installed the RH8 I installed everything.  It sure is a lot 
easier to turn something on when you need it than it is to do what I'm 
doing now!]

Thanks for your help.

Rick
