POP3 is a widely-deployed mail access protocol. Many programs access POP3 message stores, and thus need POP3 configuration information. Since there are multiple configuration elements which are required in order to access a mailbox, a single string representation is convenient. A POP3 mailbox (like an [IMAP4] mailbox) is a network resource, and URLs are a widely-supported generalized representation of network resources.A means of specifying a POP3 mailbox as a URL will likely be useful in many programs and protocols.
