Because: 1. I often work offline, thus it's more convenient to grab the full content of all messages all at once. 2. Last time I tried IMAP (admittedly with a different email client) it was too slow, I'm guessing because of the chattiness. Speed is critical for anyone who does a lot of email. (This is the main reason I like Evolution, BTW!) 3. Not all of my email accounts support IMAP. In any case, from a design perspective, I see no reason why IMAP and POP should be treated differently with respect to account separation. It seems to me that the email access protocol should be mostly transparent from a user interface perspective.
