IMP 7.0 will be next.  We need to get the legacy basic view code  
removed first since it is really hamstringing development in certain  
areas.

These are all items that I likely won't be working on unless someone  
can provide funding.

Note that remote accounts was designed as a way to *access* messages  
on a remote server.  It was not designed as a full-blown MUA for that  
server.  This was intentional, since the latter would take significant  
refactoring of IMP.  IMP is designed to use a single "master" IMAP  
account - i.e. the account you originally logged into.

Otherwise, you need to start doing things like having separate  
preferences for each remote account.  We don't currently support that  
- and that is a significant change to the preferences design to support.
