Right. They do that because POP requires a username and password, and SMTP
does not. By logging in to POP, you verify that you are authorized to use
their SMTP service. It opens up a worm hole that allows you to send SMTP
mail for a short period.
You don't have to actually READ your e-mail, you just have to log in.

POP is a very easy protocol, but all you really need to do is login and
logout. You use the imap_* functions to access it.
imap_close(
imap_open( "{server.domain.com:110/pop3}INBOX" username, password )
);
