(sorry about the full quote to post. Airmail on iPhone)

You said:

"For Cloud/O365, Microsoft
does permit IP access restrictions, which would help should I ever have
to use that solution and IMAP... "

Can you tell me more? Because one of the reasons they gave me was
explicitly that Office365 dies *not* support IP restrictions, so they
couldn't restrict access to connections from the internal network. If I can
show them otherwise...
