I worked at one organization that supported ONLY POP3.
No IMAP was offered.  Each client was configured to download
all messages and not leave a copy on the server.  This was
a policy that the University group I worked with that time
used for FOIA avoidance.  Want to see somebody's email
well you'll have to go see that individual.
