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 :)
Well, 5 last servers I built have IMAP only. The only difference user
can see is he "must delete email twice" :). POP3 was invented for
dialup users, where you just want to connect with modem download email
and disconnect. So IMHO in nowadays world where everyone has at least
stable 128kbps POP3 is a legacy.
