This may be the wrong forum for my question but I’m feeling
adventurous…so here goes…
Is there any technical reason, such as infosec, to remove IMAP\SMTP from
one’s network? I am by no means an IMAP\SMTP guru but I have used
them at various levels for the better part of 15+ years and my
experience has been that when used properly, both protocols are
perfectly secure.
I’m sure there some things I’m not seeing here so gurus-at-large,
have at it and educate me…

MailMate aficionados,
I received the message below saying that my university’s email
services would no longer use IMAP.
This really is quite worrying given that certificate-based e-mail has
been possible for years, if not decades. What the world doesn't need
is more proprietary, locked in systems where vendors get to choose
what is and is not suitable…

What the message from OP’s university says is that they are
disabling IMAP and SMTP protocols on their Office 365 service. That is
an optional access to Office 365, which itself has always been
proprietary, Charlie. If there is enough people at the university that
do not have mail clients that work natively with Office 365, there
might be enough complaints that the service is restored. This is up
local politics._______________________________________________
