Keep in mind that virtually all providers I know of that support
IMAP will also support POP on the same boxes. Indeed, it's a lot
harder to get them to support IMAP if they already support POP than
the reverse. I believe that both Cyrus and UW IMAP packages come
with a POP3 server in the box, and I know that UW IMAP is fully
compatible with virtually all mailbox formats out there, which means
you should be able to easily run it on a machine that already has an
existing POP server implementation.
So, what it comes down to is that this should not be a factor
that should need to be considered.
