Excellent.  I'm very interested on working on the IMAP mailbox subclass,
but I won't do anything (except think) until you tell us where your
redesign thoughts are taking you.

On that very subject, what are your thoughts on evolution?  Are you

1) One possible message-store backend for balsa
2) The only message-store backend for balsa
3) Not at all
