Well, I don't know. I'd think (though could be wrong) that an actual
IMAP client is faster than an SSL web-based client. My thinking is that
the IMAP protocol doesn't have to transfer a whole lot of html crap.
My understanding of how the Blackberry works is that mail gets sent to
both your e-mail account and the Blackberry. Then, some how, you can
sync between the BlackBerry and your desktop mail client. This
capability is what has been requested, though, I think the use of an
actual IMAP client would be acceptable, since with it, there's no sync
required.
Using a web-based IMAP client might also fit the bill, however, the
current version of that is IMP, and it's just barely better than not
having access to e-mail at all :)
Seeya,

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
