Unlikely. Though I could see them disabling IMAP and/or SMTP for consumer GMail.

Hardly. They'd rather cancel POP first.

A long-term IMAP storage is legally needed for the spooks to read your email in real-time. With POP they don't have the legal excuses, so they cannot read it. Only what's left over there.
