A shout out to everyone working on this -- I appreciate it. I am using Hermes with TSL 1.2 and it works for POP and IMAP. I have two instances installed, in separate folders for separate accounts. I don't code but I'm a technical writer, so maybe I can lend a hand with some documentation (I'm not your SDK or API guy.) In any case keep up the effort.
