Just a thought but I think it makes sense to try to add functionality 
to IMAP (proprietrary at first but try to get it into the IMAP 
standard via the IETF and RFCs).

For instance, I don't think it's completely the right thing for the 
MUA to implement virtual folders. Instead for IMAP users that should 
be implemented in the IMAP server. So when they change from one 
machine to another they don't lose their virtual folders.

Also stuff like multiple identities fall into the same category.

Anyways just I've thought that's been swimming around in my head for 
ages.

Don.
