If you've been reading my journal, you should be able to tell how excited I am that we're getting close to completing the new IMAP back-end. That's why it's so difficult to say that the new IMAP back-end will not be in Opera 8.0. There are a couple very serious problems that we could not get fixed in time for the Beta 3 release, which prevents us from getting the testing we'd need for the code to be in Opera 8.0 Final.
We're hoping that we can continue publicly testing the new IMAP back-end even if it won't be in 8.0. And hopefully when the new back-end is available in a final release, it'll be a lot better than it could have been in 8.0. Thanks for the help with testing so far.
