I'm dubious. These days, email clients often use some sort of secure
connection by default even if you just ask for POP. For example,
Thunderbird's mail account setup defaults to IMAP, but if you specify
POP3 it then defaults to autodetecting SSL/TLS or STARTTLS; you must
explicitly override the default (or specify a server that does not
support encryption) to get an unencrypted connection.
Users accustomed to other email clients are likely to expect that Emacs
"pop:whatever" will do something similar.
