It would be nice if you could put this info in .authinfo and have it
work just like any other server. Why did pop mail have to be special?

It's not the case that pop is special, it's just the case that
mail-sources is special. Reading from a server involves looking at
~/.authinfo, but reading from a mail-source doesn't.
I agree that it would be good to have mail-sources look at
~/.authinfo, or something equivalent.
