I'd definately be interested in seeing Celeste work with an IMAP server.
Not particularily weak IMAP support, where it acts just like the current
POP way of doing things (SimpleMail for Newton's IMAP support is like
this).

Indeed.  That change and one other would make Celeste better in this
respect. That feature is a remote-delete option. SimpleMail for the Newton
did this with POP mailboxes. When you download all messages, it leaves
them on the server.  When you delete a message, you have the option of
removing it just from the server, just from the Newton, or both.  You
could set a default action.

However, for a POP mailbox, this would only work for the INBOX, and
consequently, I'm still interested in hacking together some other means of
accessing all of my Celeste data.
