Personally, I am not convinced this is true.  But, please don't let my
concerns stop you!  Really, I think at this point any IMAP is better
than no IMAP.  The only thing I ask is that you please use the "netsec"
layer for IMAP network communication; I did all of the hard work of
doing the right security stuff in there, and I'd hate to see that work
duplicated.

I ... do not believe that is true.  Or I am not understanding your
architecture.

>At a minimum I want inc working!

I've thought about this carefully, and I believe that in an IMAP world
you would not use "inc".  Or at least you wouldn't use it very often
in the normal case.  You might be thinking of "refile".
