I've seen this with SMTP, but never with POP3. Who is doing this?
What is the rationale for it?

Huh?  If that were true, most internet subscribers world wide would not 
have access to their email!

I can see it know:

I'd like to sign up for an email account
OK, that'll be $10 per month, thanks

Here's my money, how do I connect to my mailbox?
Oh, you want a connection? That requires our Connection Account which is 
$100 per month.  With our $10 account, you get an email address, but there 
is no way to read the mail that is put in it.
