An email client without IMAP support is not going to get much traction. No one wants to have multiple email clients open at the same time.

I don’t understand the link between your second sentence and the first one. How not having IMAP support forces you to have multiple email clients open at the same time?

At work I switched from Outlook 2013 to Thunderbird, we only have linux mail servers although we run Windows on clients, but I needed to access an Exchange email. I solved it by installing Davmail locally, which translates exchange commands in IMAP commands. Otherwise I would have been forced to use Outlook only for that exchange mailbox.
