Does anyone know when:

 * the Netscape server software will include an IMAP daemon?
 * the Netscape mail client will be able to access mail folders
   using IMAP?
 * the Netscape news client will be able to access news groups
   using IMAP?

What about other browsers, like MSIE, will it's mail and news
clients be able to use IMAP?

Thanks,
Nancy

Nancy,
Netscape mail server 2.0Beta2 is available now, and includes IMAP4
support.  IMAP support in the client comes with the "Galileo" release
at the end of the year.  See  www.imap.org/whatsnew.html under "Recent
IMAP-related products and services announcements" section for articles
about both.

Not sure about news access via IMAP.

Several MS product groups are working on IMAP support.  If you go to 
www.microsoft.com and do a search on "IMAP" you'll get several hits.
