David,

I think BB does support imaps and pops (although I have not tried pops) 
if you set it up *from the phone*. Below is a log for my test account 
showing that my BB uses imaps.

Oct 16 14:26:37 xxxx imaps[6743]: starttls: SSLv3 with cipher RC4-MD5 
(128/128 bits new) no authentication
Oct 16 14:26:37 xxxx imaps[6743]: login: 
bda-67-223-69-245.bise.na.blackberry.com [67.223.69.245] test1 
plaintext+TLS User logged in
Oct 16 14:26:37 xxxx imaps[6743]: seen_db: user test1 opened 
/var/lib/imap/user/t/test1.seen
Oct 16 14:26:37 xxxx imaps[6743]: open: user test1 opened inbox

IIRC, when I first set up an account on the BB it would tried pops first 
and if it failed it would try imaps.

I do notice that if I setup my email on the BB phones thru the provider 
network website ( such as Verizon, which I just did last month for a 
client ) then there is no options for imaps or pops.
