[dev] Exciting find

[Michael M Slusarz]

Tramping through the IMAP RFCs (there are many), this looks very promising:
http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=4551 (CONDRESTORE)
http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=5162 (QRESYNC)

Quick synopsis: an easy way to determine if our local cache needs  
updating.  Dovecot, as of 1.2, supports these extensions.

Another nice extension - LIST-EXTENDED:
http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=5258

This one allows us to get (at a minimum) a listing of unseen messages  
in all folders with a single command rather than multiple STATUS  
commands.  Some major IMAP servers already support this (Dovecot 1.1  
does).
