Well, while we want Letters.app to be an _IMAP_ client, I think we can
provide a much better UX if we offer a secondary account type for
Gmail, which will inherit from the IMAP account, but include some
customizations which will abstract away some of Gmail's
idiosyncrasies.

Of course, that begs the question: are we abstracting to make Gmail
more IMAP-like, or to make IMAP more Gmail-like in that case? I lean
towards the former, make Gmail behave like a good IMAP server. For
2.0, we might give users the option.
