i ran a ISP that had ~85% mac customers for several years,
and for most of the time we used UW's ipop3d. we later moved
to qpopper (downloaded source from eudora) and it works good
too. still have a few users left on my dsl line ..about 10 ..
all are mac users..read their email daily through qpopper or
UW imapd ..
don't know about OS X ..but pop3 is a standard, if a client
for some reason doesn't work, chances are its a broken client.
most of my clients used netscape mail on MacOS 8-9.x
imap is much more complicated then pop and there can be
many more compadiblity issues, but pop3 there should be none.
