That’s moderately better, but that’s just slapping a bandaid on an open wound. POP is still a garbage protocol that should be depreciated, even when you wrap it in SSL.

Why is it a garbage protocol? POP3 performs perfectly well for its intended use-case: as a mail-spooling protocol. If you want a multi-client mailbox protocol then use IMAP instead.
