Pretty much the only point of subscriptions is that you don't have to
look at all the mailboxes that server has to offer. This is especially
useful if you have tens or hundreds of shared/public mailboxes (eg.
mailing lists or some news gateway or whatever).

Another advantage of the 1.0 version release is that some distributions
might include your 0.9x version instead of the alpha because of the
alpha name. A 1.0 version will keep people from installing the older
and obsolete versions. And that is important I would think.<br>
