POP3 can not be IMAP or HTTP. Those three are all very different protocols. And POP3 is prefered by many people who are serieus about their email, as it is the only pure email protocol. IMAP and "HTTP" are webbased protocols derived from POP3 to give users access to their email thru the normal web-protocol (http). But accessing mail thru the web has many disadvantages for the serious user.
