    Hell, most people don't know how to set up their mail client, period...
    Its not that much more difficult to set up outlook or netscape to use
    pop3/s, the issue is that the sites don't support it... If they
    supported it, they'd document it and people would use it.

    But as was pointed out, its generally a short connection to the pop
    server, so exposure is limited...
