The author gives also an inetd-like application to be used with the win32
port. Doing this on win32 with a short-session kind of protocol like POP3
will make performance to suck badly, but with IMAP you shoulb be fine
since its session is typically long.

Users that adopt IMAP is very unlikely that will use POP3, for the simple
reason that once you fetch messages with POP3 you won't be able to manage
them with IMAP. So, it's better that you leave POP3 handled by XMail. In
this way you'll have a 'uniform' system to administer when XMail's IMAP
will come.
