Or on an African GSM network with 25-50% uptimes with anywhere from 10-50% packet loss? There are some situations where POP3 is the correct solution. Hell, even on a BGAN or a VSAT with 800ms+ latencies, IMAP can be impractical.
I realize fully that I'm an outlier but I want to know if the issue of IMAP only is already set in stone. What's the zeitgeist on this? If POP will be supported via a plugin, will it be a core plugin? Or has the architecture not been settled either? Sorry if I'm rehashing a settled topic - I'm still working my way through the archives, the search function is broken and a Google site: search is breaking threading to the point where some topics are unreadable.
