No need to take issue with something I didn't say. You mention IMAP, POP and SMTP as targets for replacement. I agree that it's workable to add an additional client protocol without disruption. If it were good then people would support it. If it were good enough then the other protocols would fall into disuse and eventual deprecation. Replacing SMTP would be problematic, though.
