[imp] Full IMAP support

[ES]

Hi,
now I've read the RFC's regarding IMAP.
And shurely Chuck is right and Michael found an interesting idea to get 
it up and running with courier 
(http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/INSTALL.html#imapsend).

What I want to achive is that all incoming AND outgoing mail should be 
stored on the mailserversystem (Domino), which is not the system running 
  IMP!

When sending with SMTP then I would have no copy on the mailserver for 
the outgoing mail (no, I would not prefer to send an additional mail 
automatically to the inbox via SMTP also ;-)).
Therefore I think the way the courier server manages the sending thru a 
special INBOX.Outbox folder is a good way to achieve my goal.
Furthermore it's very easy for me to get a similar functionality 
integrated in my domino-mailserver mailbox-handling routines.

Now I would need some assistance how I could teach IMP to compose a 
message, store it in INBOX.Drafts, copy it to INBOX.Outbox with the IMAP 
functions already there with php or PEAR Net_IMAP.

Maybe this could be a general way for sending messages via an IMAP 
server, because the idea of automated sending of messages out of a 
special folder is extremly easy to implement for other mailservers as well.
Chuck, is this a way for coding this goal?
