This sounds great!  Right now most of the team is focusing on the GNOME
2 port and this doesn't give us much space for improving the backends;
so help in that direction would be welcome. 

On the other hand, we have decided to not add any new features to
Evolution until a stable GNOME 2 port gets released; so these changes
need to be postponed until then as well.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the work can't start now. :-)  The
IMAP rewrite could be maintained as a separate branch, and merged in
after 1.4 is released.

If we start throwing in ideas for a better IMAP implementation, we
should probably consider the issues with the current offline support as
well?..
