You can enable pop3 as an authentication mechanism for maia by only binding it to localhost thereby not allowing outside users to actually use it to retrieve email. Barring binding it to only localhost, you can optionally firewall the pop ports off from users also.

Thanks,

Orthogonal to the OP's problem, but POP may introduce a support issue.

I had a user who insisted on running POP and then complained that
messages on his computer weren't showing up on his phone. He also was
having problems with folders.

ArrrrRRRRRRGH. And pointing nontechnical users to RFCs isn't much help.

IMAP and POP3 use the same everything (authentication, data storage,
etc) so just turn it on and fix your problem.
