As soon as you have the Task class, you can embed a synchronous 
Pop3Client in it and retrieve your mails in the background. No need to 
implement an asynchronous Pop3 client!

Of course, as the returned data is serialized/deserialized through a 
file, you can't send megabytes of data or share any object created in 
the background task.
