This statement is crazy. You use what fulfills the needs you have. I used to run 
IMAP on my server for me and POP for my wife. Then I had a snafu with an upgrade 
that forced me to reinstall. The install had a bug that overwrote the home 
partition wiping out the user dirs but left the samba share files untouched.

I lost 4 years of email there. I decided I didn't need the features of IMAP and 
went back to POP. I only access my mail from my laptop. I certainly can't 
imagine having 5 IMAP accounts. I can see myself with 4 POP and one IMAP 
account, keeping copies of important emails archived on the IMAP account.
