A lot of my users too.  I'm in a higher ed. environment where most 
students have personal computers which they use POP on (so they can 
archive their mail on their own computer) but they spend most of their 
day out of their room (classes, library, computer lab, friends rooms, 
etc.), so they like to quickly check their mail via webmail/IMAP.

This is pretty common in a college setting I think.
