No, not currently - I don't think it matters for this, though.

They are for different uses.

IMAP is for when you leave your emails on the server, which is
preferable when you want to have multiple email clients accessing the
same email.

POP is for downloading emails to a local machine, which usually means
only accessing them on that one machine.

Roughly.
