I'm a user, just like you. So I haven't any idea where RITlabs wants
to go with TB. But the setup of TB is such that IMNSHO it doesn't make
much sense to have much emphasis on IMAP.

TB is about collecting mail and processing it automatically into
folders, responders, etc. To do so effectively with IMAP you'd need to
copy every filter to every copy of TB, otherwise their use would be
fairly limited.

With IMAP you need to do the processing on the server and the only
thing you need a mua for is to access the processed mail and some
manual operations. That is if you want to process the mail
consistently. Therefor it would be a waste of resources to develop the
IMAP of TB any further.

The advantage to process the same mail twice (via POP3) at two
locations (home and office) is that your interests at both places may
differ strongly. So it would make sense to use two different sets of
filters.
