Home users also don't have IMAP servers they run themselves. They are in public email service.

I don't think it's crazy for a NAS to provide an IMAP server, e.g. to backup or archive a large mailbox.

One of the selling points of a NAS is that storage is much cheaper than what the large cloud providers charge per GB and month.

Cool, you don't but obviously you don't deal with a ton of normal users. They are not running NASes, they will just toss Google some cash for bigger GMail box.
