---------------------------------------

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-2335 would make introducing such a specific configuration possible.

> In the context of the *Basic Server*, it has been decided (ref??) that POP3 will be an included feature, but will be disabled by default.
> The current mechanism by which POP3 is configured is questionable in this context because:
>  * It exposes a lot of technical details that are not appropriate for a Basic Operator
>  * It seems to require a lot of unnecessary configurations (to be discussed)
>  * It mixes in the security (SSL) concern, which is another large and important issue
>  * It is in XML 🤮
> We should determine how this configuration can be made more "Operator-friendly".
>  
> (Note: we do not expect to work on this immediately. This is more of a placeholder for later work once an initial version of the Basic Server has been released.)
