nobody needs it, but the fact is that just about everybody prefers it
once they've used it, it's better than POP3 in pretty much every way,
and it's used by a HUGE number of people.
You don't think so? AOL is the largest email provider in the world -
they have no POP3 interface, only IMAP. Second largest, Microsoft
Exchange - IMAP and POP3.
The idea that IMAP isn't for Joe Six-Pack is patronizing, in my
opinion. Maybe Joe doesn't need better products? Faster ones? He'll
be happy with hamburger while others eat steak? What are you saying, man!
The only reason POP remains popular is because it's cheaper and easier
to implement - it has NOTHING to do with users!

the big boy on the block. The only thing that makes IMAP as major as
it is is that business needs it, while POP is for Joe and Jane Sixpack.
