I think that the increase in mobile devices will drive the uptake of IMAP. Once you start reading and replying to mail on your phone (or your netbook or tablet/pad), you realise the benefits of IMAP and the limitations of POP. Even my 70 year old mother is now using IMAP! I think that Ritlabs are on the right track by focusing on IMAP support when a lot of developers seem to be giving up on desktop email completely. There is a lot of excellent work on mobile clients (for example, K-9 mail for Android) and people are going to start looking for good desktop clients.
