For interactive terminal access, scp, and the like, keys work great.  For imap 
(the application at hand), not so much.  And don't even get my started on 
support for client side x509 certificates in popular MUAs (would you want to 
support your retired mother-in-law getting this working?).  For now, 
sufficiently long random alphanumeric character passwords will have to do in 
those applications.
