I don't buy it.

If they REALLY just wanted to OFFER a bundle for those who WANTED it - they
would have done so.

The fact that they are PULLING Imail and offer nothing BUT the bundle shows
a different motivation.

If you have a steady income stream from a customer base, all you had to do
is to make sure that you don't overspend on what you take in - or raise
prices for the annual support contracts if supporting the basic Imail is not
paid for by the support contracts (which I find hard to believe.)

Maintaining Imail and the steady income stream would have taken NO extra
development effort, because SMTP, POP and IMAP support will always be the
core services.

No - this is clearly motivated by money.  They decided getting 4 to 10 times
the money from half the people is still more profitable.
