I don't use it to get my own email every day - but I do use one of them 
(Sarah's libPOP) in my Spam filtering program. It was, until recently, 
used every day, fairly intensively - not only by myself but also my 
wife. (A very demanding user base !!)

Every one of our 600-1000 emails each day between September and February 
was read (headers and a few lines of text only)  through that app / 
library, and 80% of them were then deleted via the library, leaving only 
the small number remaining to be read by normal email program (OE and 
Eudora).  

The main point of my Spam filter is to allow a quick, inexact filter 
using only blacklisted & whitelist senders - *without* downloading the 
whole email (slow dial-up line ...), so in general only the first 1-2K 
bytes of each mail is actually read by this program.

In Feb I switched us over to Thunderbird, and we're experimenting with 
its Spam filter - so we need to let all the spam through to it; that's 
the only reason we stopped using the filtering app - had no problems at 
all with the library.
