Out of curiosity, why do you say dial-up users don't usual use IMAP?
IMAP is a lot more bandwidth friendly, similar to NNTP services, you
can set it to get just the parts you need (usually just major headers)
before fetching the whole body... allowing you to quickly identify the
importance of a mail, delete spam, and fetch the mails you really
want.

I was originally forced to use POP3 over a dial-up because my old
provider didn't offer IMAP.
