If Timo wrote in every feature that every person wanted, dovecot would 
be hundreds of meg in size, unstable and never finished.  I take it you 
have gcc and a text editor, write the feature yourself and if it is any 
good submit it as a public patch.
Dovecot is not a 'me too' package, it probably won't incorporate every 
feature that some other IMAP servers have, it does the job and does it 
very well while still being very lean, modular package.
