WOW!!!  That's just what I'd been looking for!  Many Thanks!

Perhaps a line or two mentioning the POP support should be added to
the Info file so that seekers could find it without having to read elisp.

something like this on the (vm)Starting Up page would go far:

 ... The value of `vm-spool-files' will be inherited from the shell
 environmental variables MAILPATH or MAIL if either of these variables
 are defined.  See the documentation for the variable `vm-spool-files'
 for formatting details and how this can be used to enable POP support
 in VM.
