Mainly I was bringing it up because I happened across it for the first time just then, and it's something that (at least some) people have wanted forever. I guessed that you dev types may not have heard of it either, so mentioning it would give you the opportunity to start planning support for it by the time OpenEchange is really ready for prime time. > I also wonder many people actually use this or will potentially, i.e. is > it really worth the work? As for how many people would use it... In the U.S., the prevalence of Exchange Server is annoying, and a lot of IT departments won't turn on IMAP because they only officially support Outlook, which obviously doesn't need IMAP. I've been frustrated by that in the past myself, though at the moment I don't need it.
