Well, if the users don't ask for it, they won't provide it...

Having said that, I was doubtful of your claim that IMAP is not
generally available from NZ ISPs.  I ran a very quick and shallow survey
found that nine out of the fourteen surveyed ISPs provide IMAP services.
It's possible that some of the other ISPs only allow their IMAP service
to be accesses from users attached to their network.
ISPs providing IMAP services:
actrix.co.nz caverock.net.nz actrix.co.nz clear.net.nz hyper.net.nz
orcon.net.nz maxnet.net.nz xtra.co.nz globe.net.nz

I have > 1GB of mail sitting on my IMAP server, do you think they would 
let me away with that ???
