Wouldn't it be more logical for a mail client to support mail
protocols before you start adding features for different protocols
first? Though your polls say that 88% don't know what IMAP is, chances
are they don't know what POP3, or SMTP is either, they just get told
what values to put where. And I'm sure if you did a search for IMAP,
and nntp (or news) in TBUDL, you're more likely to find IMAP is a
higher asked question.
