   I believe the only safe implementation of RENAME is one that creates a new
   mailbox, copies all messages to that new mailbox, and then deletes the
   source mailbox.  The client can do that just as easily as the server.

This doesn't work if the server is maintaining other metadata with the
mailbox, such as mailbox level annotations.

   I believe that RENAME can't be fixed, and should be removed.

I believe that the reference argument to LIST can't be fixed. Will you
join me in lobbying to remove it?
