And this differs from SMTP AUTH in what way?
With SMTP AUTH te authentication for the outbound email isn't
necessarilly the same as the incoming email. If you use IMAP to send
email then the user has to know the IMAP password to send email. It also
doesn't require a separate connection on a separate port. Why use 2
protocols when you can use one?
IMAP/IMAP SEND
Mail storage for ISP? Say 100MB. (ISP WILL HAVE TO allocate this much
for every user, say you have 40K users... you can see how expensive
this will become.) Help desk calls because of over limit? Quite a few
because the email client will just keep the messages on the server.
There would have to be a POP SEND as well.
