gmail actually still supports POP if you can believe it. I hesitate to even mention it in public for fear that they'll notice and shut it off or put it behind the firewall.

I can confirm that Google thinks the fact that they can't rate limiter IMAP with the same efficacy as their own APIs is a "bug".

Why can't they? I see no technical reason that would prevent them for doing it.
