Even theoretically it's not something I want to consider. It would cause more trouble than gain.

(Some clients identify themselves with ID extension, many don't (e.g. Outlook). Some clients might be unreliably detected using the IMAP command tags they use, but that could identify other clients wrong. Different localizations of clients use different mailbox names.)
