pop3hot, actually, is only free for 15 days, after that you have to buy a yearly subscription. There are two other problems with it:
1) Your password is sent in clear over the internet. With a httpmail client this is never the case, the password is never transmited to the server, the authentication is done with a challenge-response scheme in which both the client and server are able to prove they know a secret without actually communicating the secret.
2) With the POP3 interface you can't see any custom folders.
