That's fine, there are plenty of clients out there that cover it. We
don't need to dumb down another one in the interest of the masses.

IMAP is core because it is a base protocol for sending and retrieving
mail. Without that protocol implemented it is hard for you to have mail to
spell check. Does that make it clear what is a "core" feature as opposed to
an optional one?

Yes. No matter how good the RITLABS programmers are they will not be able
to build a spell checker as good as a team of programmers who have dedicated
themselves to building nothing but a spell checker.
