openemailsurvey.org main page results contains both 143 + 993 results deduplicated. There are actually also pages for them separately:

http://openemailsurvey.org/imap-143.html
http://openemailsurvey.org/imap-993.html

The 993 port page is before the nicer stats, but I think still from the same year's results.

Yeah, that's a limitation. But it's still detecting nginx and according to last year's scan there were 0,06% nginx proxies so it doesn't change the results much.
