Because of arguments like this, and that I do not even want to offer
non-SSL options, I routinely disable ports 143 and 587 and only use
ports 993 and 465 for authenticated user mail...

However just now I notice this comment and am now concerned that ie;
port 465 might be deprecated and dropped by future Roundcube updates...

I guess my question is; how safe is it to continue to rely on NOT
using ports 143/587?

Perfectly safe.
