It's okay for imapd to hang around, because the client can reuse
the connection indefinitely.  This is normal.  IMAP clients can
also make multiple connections, so they are not hampered if an
old connection exists.

It is unusual for pop3d to hang around, since POP clients must log in
each time they check for new mail or download mail, and then close the
connection when the operation is completed.  Also, pop3d only allows
one connection per client, which does cause client problems when an
old connection exists.  I have not found a solution, other than
killing old pop3d processes.
