just adding to the list of people for whom a pop plugin would be

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.
That sounds like a good reason to develop an IMAP mail client that is
accessibile. If the mail client isn't accessible, then having POP
support within it wouldn't help him anyway.
I doubt Letters would run on the Braille computer, either.
Sure it could. That's just a regular computer with a Braille I/O device
attached.
This one isn't. It's one of these:
<http://www.accessingenuity.com/braillenote-apex-bt-braille-keyboard>
A windows CE device, with no screen and no regular keyboard.
Using the OS accessibility APIs should be sufficient for
supporting this. From a programming POV, supporting Braille output is, I
believe, no different from supporting screen readers. Just expose the
text to be output via the accessibility APIs and let the screen
reader/braille output or whatever render it.
