POP is supported.  This is what I use for Gnus (I've never used VM):

(setq mail-sources 
      '((pop :server "pop.gmx.net"
             :user "foo"
             :password "bar")))

The username is indeed not the whole email address, only the part before
the @.

Please note that this is not a very secure way of storing your
password.  You might want to leave that bit out if you're paranoid.

HTH.
