SGI machine under IRIX. Task seems to simple but it isn't. Can't find
any unix implementation (with source code) on the Net.

Doesn't take much to find it:

      Qualcomm QPopper.

    Personally I'd try to avoid qpopper, as it has a long history of
security holes leading to root exploits.  Better (IMO) alternatives:

popa3d  - ftp://ftp.dataforce.net/pub/solar/
cucipop - ftp://ftp.fdt.net/pub/unix/packages/cucipop/
cyrus   - http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/cyrus/

    Not sure whether any of them compiles on IRIX though.
