I understand where you are coming from now. That certainly makes
sense. I too would hate to see the focus of TB development move away
from MUA priorities.

I had never used IMAP prior to TB v2. I have three primary email
accounts -- work, home (personal), and lists. I had accessed all 3
both from my home computer and my work computer (and periodically my
laptop when I travelled) using POP and "Leave messages on server".

After TB v2 came out I tried IMAP and was instantly hooked to the
point of not being able to go back to POP. I was so hooked that I even
used Becky for a while because TB's initial IMAP support was too buggy
for use, but I couldn't go back to POPping my multiple accounts!
