I do not think there is a POP3 based authenticator published, but it
quite trivial to write one.

Squid sends "username <space> password <newline>" to it's
authentication helpers. POP3 expects "USER <space> <username>
<newline>" "PASS <space> <password> <newline>". Squid wants OK/ERR
back from the helper, one per user line sent.
