That is probably correct, but also a shame as a lot of effort has been
expended on developing IMAP support. Rather than waste it, perhaps there is
a way of sub-dividing the functionality required to put it in place.

If we could come up with a roadmap of all of the required pieces and their
current status we might find a way of lightening the load for existing
contributors and find new contributors with an 'itch' to move a particular
piece forward or develop one of the missing pieces.

I'm not sure what any of the roadblocks are. As I remember it, outstanding
activities include adding sub-folder support to the repositories and
per-user attributes. If existing IMAP developers could come up with
interface specs. for these and what else they require, maybe others could
implement them.

Personally, I don't have the time to implement anything more than I am
currently committed to, but would be happy to help in breaking out the
required pieces for IMAP and defining the interfaces for those pieces.

Of course I have a vested interest. To be useful, jSieve needs per user
attributes and really comes into its own when running atop an IMAP store. I
would like that incorporated into James as soon as possible.
