> POP, no. My time machine didn't go back that far. ;)

Imho this remark comes across as quite unprofessional. Ignoring the fact that POP and IMAP weren't born that far apart in time (wikipedia says 84 and 86 respectively), POP is one of the two standard email client retrieval protocols. Most mail clients support it for good reason.

Its no problem that inbox.io doesn't support POP3, its a feature you may or may not have it.

What bugs me, as someone who likes to implement ancient protocols and backward scompatible clients (because its the right thing to do), is your stupid remark about it. Nobody cares that you think POP3 is old fashioned and that you were too smug about it to implement it. Furthermore POP3 and IMAP are like completely different protocols for completely different use cases. I don't fucking use IMAP because its fucking centralized model doesn't make any fucking sense in my decentralized world. POP3, even being two long years older, works just fine. So don't be a dick and just say you didnt't implement it. There may be reasons, but you didn't mention one. You just bashed a perfectly fine protocol for no reason and pissed me off.
