[lug] ipop3d to qpopper migration

[Greg Horne]

Okay, I figured out that the command './configure --enable-uw-kludge'
with all my other options of course, will make the Internal Data message
go away.  I'm still searching for an answer to the migration of mail.
If anybody can help that would be great.
