I'm reticent to make any such suggestions at all, since doing this using IMAP is WAY simpler than doing it using POP with a Rube Goldberg back-end. You're essentially spending much time and energy — and playing with what are essentially internal interfaces that Apple can change on a whim* — to replicate IMAP without actually using IMAP. You could get an IMAP connection working with a fraction of this effort, and never have to worry about it again.
