No SMTP/IMAP support.
That's because they are encrypted. There's a bridge

I've always considered it for my data not to be read by the company and it's employees but you bring up an interesting point.
That makes them totally unreasonable and pushed for vendor lockin and proprietary applications you can't run anywhere.

Just use a domain then and switch whenever you feel like.
