Probably a security issue also, but a good idea. This will save you
two trips(downloading the message before resending it).
It is an interesting feature to be able to use a second IMAP as the
store(Save the mails) while browsing the first one ...


One of the things that I want to do also is "referals".  Let the
mailbox handle transparently a referal from the server.
To do this cleanly, the IMAP code needs a rewrite(It's on my radar)
once the workload diminish in Mars.
