It occurs to me that there is at least one advantage of putting as much
as possible into the imap protocol:
mailclients are kind of a special of replication client. Really they
want to be able to do as much as possible of this stuff as possible
also... Although clients typically lag a few weeks behind new RFCs
being written (grin), I guess the point is that if some of this stuff is
available via IMAP or an IMAP extension then others might one day use or
benefit from it?
Just a thought...
Does a modification to IDLE to monitor more folders help us at all?
