Pine users are a notable IMAP market. Pine believes deeply, devoutly,
in IMAP. I'm planning to bring up an IMAP server here partly for
Pine, partly so I can check my mail from Eudora on my laptop and see
all of the mailboxes into which procmail has sorted my mail and stay
in sync with Pine when I get home.

IMAP does a lot more than POP. I agree that the IMAP people at Washington
have a very bad attitude toward qmail and maildirs, though.
