Two apps running a poll to a POP server(s) on port 110 would tend to confuse the operating system. Same stands for outgoing port 25. I agree, in a technical sense, this can be accomplished by mapping ports of an e-mail client to run on port xxxx having that port connect to 25 and 110 however this would take some doing as most e-mail clients cannot be further configured this way unless there was a local POP/SMTP server configured to listen on ports 110 and 25 but allow inbound requests from different ports from the mail clients. In a nutshell two apps cannot monitor and process the same ports "simultaneously". If one is connected outbound to port 110 the other will generate a "port in use" or "could not connect to server" error.
