Exactly,  I did this 10 years ago and having mail on any client was great
but I missed having the same synchronization for address books, calendar.
I can't imagine anyone still using POP these days when we all have
multiple devices.

Not wanting to put all my business info in Google,  I've now switched to
Zimbra.  That has it's own client or IMAP - and the native Android apps
work with everything.
