maintaining a separate list is not a valid idea. There are more people who use the entire set than don't. ...snip...
Get a client that handles threaded email, and you can just ignore threads that don't have anything to do with IMAP. Pretty simple.
Potentially BETTER idea: Prepend the word "IMAP" to the beginning of each subject line if that's all you want to talk about. That way full suite users can choose to read or ignore such posts, and IMAP-only people can restrict their review to ONLY those posts.

Wow, the voice of reason. Good call. Just a matter of all partaking.
Well, I suggest "taking the temperature" of the entire list about this, but I can affirm that this solution has worked before. I suggested this sort of solution to the original GoLive CyberStudio list (before Adobe bought the Web editing software/company from GoLive, and renamed the product "Adobe Golive") and originated the "WISHLIST" prefix to list subjects. It seemed to have caught on sufficiently to have Macromedia use the same process (and subject prefix) on their list for Dreamweaver.
Could work on this list, too. Just have to be careful: Having a lot of subject nouns (e.g. "Wishlist", "IMAP", "Config", etc.) can get confusing and further erode the discipline needed to use a proper subject line such that the list archives can be properly (and easily) searched.
Hope that I'm not out of line, here.
