Isn't the framework there right now though?  Meaning that there is 
practically no difference between 1.8.2.2 (used in 3.1 RC3) and 1.10 (HEAD 
version).  Wouldn't it be possible to use the new functionality in 
Notification (i.e. the OO-interface) without breaking backward portability.

The problem is that, without notification messages being stored between 
requests, the last login functionality is useless for IMP 3.1.  Since the 
login tasks are handled in a separate request from the display of the first 
mailbox, there is no way last login will work without the new notification 
method.

I'd love to look at this more - but I won't be able to for the rest of this 
week as I will be out of town.  i just really believe this issue 
(obviously) needs to be decided before 3.1 is released.
