Depends what you want to do with it.  Granted, it doesn't include any
terminal emulation, macro facilities or other niceties, but to telnet
to your POP server, issue half a dozen short commands and receive half
a dozen short responses - per the original requirement - why would you
need any of that?

If all I need to do is bang in a single nail, and it doesn't have to be
pretty, I'll use half a brick rather than go spend money on a fancy
hammer.
