I've spent 2 weeks evaluating APE for a customer. The conclusion was 
that APE is still beta quality. Computer Associates are doing a lot of 
work with it for their BDM product so it may improve.

Most of the customers on the commercial service use POP and we've not 
had any reliability problems with the POP element. Mail is only deleted 
from the POP server after it is downloaded and committed to the Zope 
Database so if anything goes wrong during the download mail won't be 
lost. There is logging - it just goes into the standard Zope event log.
