that's insane - he runs his own IMAP server (dovecot) and uses a POP3
connection to get the mail from gmail, delete it from gmail and pipe it
to his IMAP server..

If you took a second to look at his link you would understand that.

POP3 for a typical mail client is for people who are mired in the 1990's
and thus slavishly move mail from computer to computer, program to
program, either out of ignorance for a better way or just lack
imagination. But if you never change computers, never change e-mail
programs, never want to use another computer or device to check e-mail,
then sure, POP3.
