I can't find any decent information about the capabilities of imapc in the planned future dovecot releases.
Mainly it's about adding support for more IMAP commands (e.g. SEARCH), so that it doesn't necessarily have to be used as a rather dummy storage. (Although it always has to be possible to be used as a dummy storage, like it is now.)
As I think about using imapc, I'll just give the two use-cases I see for me. Will this be possible with imapc?
- One (or more) folders in a mailbox which are proxied?
Currently because imapc_* settings are global, you can't have more than one imapc destination. This will be fixed at some point. Otherwise this works the same way as other storage backends: You create namespace(s) for the folders you want to proxy.
- Proxy a whole mailbox _and use the folders in it as shared folders_. That means account X on Server 1 (the dovecot box) is proxied via imapc to Server 2 (some other server). The folders of this account on Server 1 are then shared with account Y. When account Y uses these folders they are always up-to-date (so no action of account X is required).
This should be possible, yes.
