I asked three admins about that in 2007, all said "we want all access to 
be encrypted and imaps/pop3s/smtps is the practical way to get that". 
Statistics isn't my field, three identical answers was enough for me, 
and I concluded that SSL wrapping will remain in use until mail servers 
offer configuration settings to allow/prevent plaintext access to mail.
