Umm ... I have a gut feeling that someone is trying to split hairs here. E-mail has existed in many ways, shapes, and forms over the years. "Webmail" doesn't strike me as a well defined term, and you have to be careful using IMAP/POP as terminology for e-mail. E-mail can be carried in the strangest of ways, and the following chain is far from unusual: web browser --> web server --> mail server --> SMTP connection --> mail server --> Microsoft Exchange server --> IMAP connection --> web server --> web client. Which part is or isn't involved? (This is a rhetorical question - no need to answer.) E-mail is message passing between users. I'm not sure the protocol matters that much ...
