In other words, I believe IMAP gets used as a MAPI surrogate, but not as a

Those providers usually make IMAP available, but my sense is that it is not
used all that much. POP seems to remain vastly preferred.
I don't think that's true. A lot of people want to be able to access
their mail stores from multiple clients, and POP doesn't do that well
at all.
Ted,
You and I and pretty much everyone reading this email are not representative
of the broader Internet community. So the question is how to document the
assessment that "lots of people" do use IMAP.
