Actually, I have an "almost" working scheme in my implementation atm. I 
just tried some more and I think I've actually figured it out:

imap://<server>:<port>/fetch%3EUID%3E.INBOX<.SUBFOLDER>%3E<mail id>

I've tried this with an IMAP account I have and it seems to work. The 
only problem is that you need to login and actually download the 
message, even when it's stored on your hard drive.

Even though "%3E" means ">", don't try to translate it that way because 
it won't work. The dot seems to represent a separator of some kind. The 
URL to an email can be revealed by pressing ctrl+u when reading a mail 
or selecting View->Message Source (check the title bar).

Thanks!
