ah, given your user base above, how many of these people would use IMAP to
begin with. I have found that most IMAP users are business people, or
professional people, educational/university people, or for a lack of a
better term, "higher end" users, and not just ordinary folks who want to get
their mail. In my thinking, most people just want to download their mail :)

Or, get it off a web based IMAP server, e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.

As you know, Ritlabs started TB! as a terrific POP client. They were correct
in determining their user base of POP based email. Some features available
for IMAP, including not having the ability to accept a cert by one's own
choosing, are available in all other clients, at the very least. IMO, it is
not a security issue.
