IMAP vs. POP isn't really a true security issue in this instance. 
It's more a matter of support; I want to allow ourselves - within the 
company - to use IMAP, but not clients, unless they're 'special'.  My 
idea was that by hiding it, the users wouldn't know it was there. 
Unless they are unusually sophisticated, in which case we I don't 
care.
