I could easily write a program (ruby, python,...) that provides a pop server via imap. So why has dovecot got a pop server at all?
Because people kept bugging me to write it until I gave in. Also some POP3 features can't be easily implemented with IMAP interface.
I can't really think of how RSS feeds could even work. It would need some web server I suppose. It would need authentication I suppose. Would it generate some RSS files somewhere and let web server serve them, or would it run as cgi-bin? And so on.
