However, I meant what I said, *but only in context*. I was replying to Ian Eiloart's specific case of a user he knows that has a "Braille Computer" without an IMAP client: "We only permit use of POP3 here for people who have to use clients that don't support IMAP. We have two such people: one is blind, and has an braille computer that doesn't have an IMAP client." One user's anecdotal edge case isn't enough to force the project to include POP3. My post and position makes perfect sense if it's read in context.
