> Most MUAs are now using IMAP, so this is quickly becoming irrelevant.

IMAP is not appropriate for an ISP, because the ISP wants to get rid
of the email.

POP is not appropriate for a campus environment, because it's better
to control mail backups on a central server, and because IMAP works
with multiple clients (e.g. desktops and laptops, or work machines and 
home machines).

I don't see either protocol going away.
