IMAP v. POP

Lots of users don't like you have to be connected to IMAP to do routine
things fulltime.

If your paying by the minute for CDMA2000, (for instance), getting frozen
out of doing anything when your not connected turns people off.

Network people like the reduced traffic on the network for POP logins than
endlessly return "0" or whatever for 'LIST', when there is nothing to pickup.

Hard tradeoffs, really.
