i want to move mails from some specific imap folder to some other folder 
on the filesystem to precess them further more.
but maybe i want to copy the mail and then set the seen flag.
i think both can be done via imap,
but maybe i want to add some tag/keyword, text or attachment from some 
processing skript with processing informations
thinks getting more complex ...
