You weren't civil (that was not especially a civil act -- based as it was on the fact that you apparently don't realize that no, Zimbra Desktop users are *not* the only people who can access Yahoomail via IMAP, and that hasn't been true for *at least* two years), so why should we be?

I do think it's his fault, John; Zimbra is, effectively, so far as *I* can tell, a subsidiary of Yahoo mail -- I wouldn't be surprised if any given Zimbra employee needed to ask around to get in touch with any given Yahoomail employee, special case for ZD or not.

I'm not a cheerleader for Zimbra -- you can make your own decisions about that from the 36 bugs I filed last week; clearly I don't think Z is perfect. But I do think that -- unless you made some other attempts you haven't mentioned between mentioning to people at a hack day who weren't in the chain of command and posting it to frickin' Slashdot -- you could probably have chosen, at the very least, slightly less inflammatory language to discuss it in.
