The enhancement to the client is that a sysadmin can preconfigure the clients, and ACAP gives a bunch of wacky data inheritance tricks to make this easy. I wouldn't worry too much about ACAP anyway - even I think it's dead-end. The key portions could be slammed into almost any other convenient protocol, and it's one case where I think bolting it onto an existing protocol makes sense. This wasn't the case when it was the only viable solution for handling address books, mind, and you'd lose the multi-account capability, but I think people are basically OK with such things now. > Xtra is NZ's biggest ISP.

Unless you're running an MTA on your laptop, in which case you're presumably savvy-enough to deal with the consequences. > We're techies here, we forget how lost and confused the punters get. No matter how good the protocols involved are, it comes down to how good the deployment and implementations are. The client is the punter-facing component, and without good clients you're shot whatever you do. To get "good" clients, you need mind-share, and you'll only get that if you start off with the status quo and figure out where to go - or if you base on another preexisting framework. Lots of folk are doing this very successfully with the web, of course, but I think there are other options, too. All this talk of a boil-the-ocean brave-new-world is great fun, I'll be the first to admit, but I really don't see how it gets us anywhere useful.
