Checking the junk folders is the only reason that I now log in to
Hotmail or Yahoo! webmail sites.

You can't get your junk mail or sent mail with only POP, so you still
have to login to the web site to see if you are missing any messages
in the junk folder.

Since GMail, HotMail, and Yahoo already support POP3 delivery

when and why would these extensions ever be needed for those services
in particular? It seems that this adds an unnecessary level of
complexity, since HTTP is not an e-mail protocol and changes to how
the "Webmail" interfaces work could break these extensions, which
NEVER happens with POP3/SMTP.
When are these actually needed?
