Yes, indeed thank you Mark. Also, as you point out POP is just the
transport, you could accomplish the same thing on any server and use POP as
the transport protocol. However, other than Exchange and Notes (er, Domino?)
I'm not aware of any servers that do so.

Most POP implementations are simple implementations over either a file
system or database hosted mail store without any server-side processing.
Also, now that I think about it I don't think you could use either POP or
IMAP exclusively in an environment that used server-side processing. There
is nothing in the protocol to tell the server what the rules are.
