I think many of the people who demand IMAP are confused about what the IMAP protocol provides. It is not an upgrade to POP, it is a different scheme for accessing emails, which presupposes a single server accessible at all times, and allows you to store information about which emails have been read/moved to a different folder etc and share it between multiple clients.
This can be more elegant than POP if you share several computers and wish to synchronise moving messages between folders etc. As Balzac doesn't use folders, this is of limited use.
I am hoping however to map flavours to custom IMAP flags at some point in the future, at which point the app will support IMAP. I am planning IMAP support for version 1.1 (the underlying library supports it so it won't be too hard to add).
Many people use POP quite happily on servers which also provide IMAP - IMAP is not suitable for all situations, and if you locally cache messages becomes very similar to POP (apart from the folder synching, which as I explained is not relevant to Balzac).

It's missing a couple things that would make me not use it - LDAP searching for addresses and IMAP. I just don't understand why all these e-mail clients keep coming out without IMAP. BAH!
I haven't really be able to use it yet. It just hung when I asked it to connect to the Exchange server here at work.
