1) Sure, but the browser has to know your password for pop, etc, or you have to type it in, saving nothing. If it does know, then you're stuck at your own browser or you have to teach some new browser where your mail server is, and put in a password. I was saying any automation benefit for email would also help openid (for example) because it's already browser-based. If you can automate POP, you can automate openid.
