I concur with the guy in the office next to me :-)

It's now some 20 years since the start of all this and I seem to recall in past posts that carrying the baggage of the past makes it difficult at times to move forward. If moving forward requires us to finally discard other formats and ideas that seemed necessary 20 years ago but no longer make as much sense today then I'm all for it. Unless, of course, you get rid of something I want ;-) Just kidding.

I have given serious consideration to deleting support for some of the

IMAP (at least until it software rots) if they want to use one of the
old crufty formats.

If that would aid/speed implementation of some long-desired extensions (e.g. 4314 and 2087), I think that would be a very fine idea.
