Well, I don't really like that standard. It seems to be designed to make one
simple mail client use a bit less network bandwidth. It doesn't even support
more than one mailbox.

Doesn't look like they're related to Lemonade ietf group at all which has
similar design goals.

If it was implemented, it would require patching imap-login to support the
M-IMAP protocol internally because it starts as a regular IMAP4 connection
but the first command from client tells if it wants to use M-IMAP instead.
Post-login process could be implemented separately though.
