Yet they not only support SMTP and IMAP4, but they give instructions on
how to set up Mozilla Thunderbird. They use XMPP and they allow
connections from outside their network. In most ways they are way ahead
of the competition. To me it sounds pretty much like the GNU/Linux
kernel development: make your project popular enough and conform to our
coding structure and we're going to include it in the main tree. Fail to
do so and you are free to develop patches and loadable modules.
