Does anyone know if BB10 will support IMAP on its BIS?

I sure hope it does!

Is there any reason the BlackBerry 10 smartphones would not support IMAP, POP, Microsoft ActiveSync, and good old @carrier_name.blackberry.net email services? No. You have the only logical answer to your question. The only question at this point is clarification about the BlackBerry tiered data plans and whether these are in addition to a standard device-agnostic data plan. The BIS and BES data plans in the pre-tier years was a complete package with no add-ons necessary. Then we were given BlackBerry Social data plans in various configurations to muddy the waters. When the announcement was initially presented concerning a shift to BlackBerry tiered data plans a lot of questions remained unanswered.

If they didn't have it in 2012, then I don't think anyone can assume anything. So the only logical thing to do is ask???

The Dev Alpha already supports IMAP mail, so the answer is a clear "Yes" for BB10.

Edit: for those who are confused: the Dev Alpha has no email client (the Hub), so you can't actually see your messages, but it does pick them up etc via IMAP. Same as the PB but with improvements.
