Yeah it is a great idea. For example with a good plugin which is used in a Webmail environment. Individual clients may submit spam mails to the email server with these imap "extension" and it will create self control against with the users of email server.

IMAP establishes a connection between the client and the server. Wouldn't it be great if it could be a conduit to let custom Thunderbird plugins talk to custom server application over the IMAP interface? For example, personalized server settings. Suppose for example I want Thunderbird to edit my server side white lists or black lists or any other setting? Wouldn't it be nice if IMAP supported these changes? The connection is made. It's a secure connection that's been authenticated. Lets use it!
Sounds like a job for ACAP.
