I prefer to optimize for best overall server performance. This pretty much means that I have to optimize for most commonly used clients. And like I said, my optimizations are done automatically and are separate for each mailbox, so my "POP-over-IMAP" optimizations have no negative effect on other clients. Besides, Outlook/OE works well enough with IMAP as a remote mail storage. That simply can't be done reasonably with POP3.
