I'm not sure that text such as this belongs in the POP and IMAP 
documents, as opposed to the framework document.  Maybe it belongs in 
the POP and IMAP, but I'm not convinced yet.  The idea seems to be to 
convey some basic information regarding how accounts should be set 
up, which can be helpful, but doesn't really have anything to do with 
POP/IMAP, aside from the account data being used there (as well as 
elsewhere).
