Chris, as one of the contributors to IMAP, it still took me years to
make the jump and I am glad I did.
IMAP is just more functional than POP ever was with better security
features; though Peter Resnick of Qualcomm would regal us with stories
of maintaining Eudora for their CEO for years after there were other
better choices, but he started on Eudora, and it was Qualcomm's product
and he was going to keep using it... Worked for me!
I switched all those years ago from Eudora to Thunderbird, still POP.
There was a nice utility to convert Eudora mail folders to that used by
Thunderbird. In fact just last year an old friend was FINALLY getting
of Eudora and asked if anyone knew how, so I dug the program out of my
archives for him.
Over all these years I have been using Thunderbird with all its warts.
But then really they all have warts.
Oh and just updated my wife from Thunderbird on XP to Thunderbird on
Win10, and she is complaining on how things are different...
