And, more important, from SSH (or any other service) password, which it
usually also isn't. One should not think of a mail account as a "mail-only"
account. There may be multiple services involved, that are protected with
the same login credentials.

And speaking of email, POP password will be usually the same and IMAP
password, and with IMAP one can get access to mail stored in other folders
in your account, not only the inbox messages you are "forwarding" to Google.
