I have a client who swears that IMAP is the next big thing and that everyone
will want it, so there gearing evevything towards IMAP. I have to be honest
the only time I've ever used IMAP is to setup a client with AOL via Outlook,
if AOL is using it then that can't be very promising.

I told them Exchange and SBS is the best solution and coming next year their
will be a wave of new phones that integrate perfectly with Exchange allowing
auto syncing of Calendar, Contacts, Email and Tasks.

What are your thoughts is IMAP the next thing or is just a technology that
will never be adopted?

Thanks, Brian.

"Next"? It dates from 1986:

Agreed been around Actually I think RPC over HTTP is the next big thing?

You do know you can turn on IMAP on the SBS server right?

Guess you can say it's the next big thing over POP3....I think that has been
around longer than IMAP 1986 date. :-)
