So all of the people who wanted to Google gmail to use IMAP and the fact that Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express support IMAP and give you more functionality if IMAP is enabled isn't at least suggestive that "lots of people" are using IMAP? Corporations might be using MS Exchange, but most individual end-users who are using mail service provided by the ISP are probably using IMAP. But I'm not sure why we need to prove that IMAP is success to your satisfaction. Certainly the fact that many mail providers are providing IMAP, and many MUA's can use the IMAP protocol, with more functionality to their users compared to POP, is at least in my book proof of the protocol's success. If you want to think otherwise, that's fine. - Ted _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
