Now, now. Be nice. ;-)
POP is just fine if you mostly use a single laptop for mail. I was, and still am, more than happy to do without all the extra stuff in IMAP if it means something that actually works. I suspect other people actually need what IMAP does.
Getting back to S/MIME, it sounds like it’s perfectly possible to get something that works better than Apple Mail if you forgo the nice UI and the latest crypto-agility options.
