        Hi,
the bug is for IMAP, and technically makes sense only there, as it
doesn't make any sense on exchange servers, for example, because it's
user-configurable how the IMAP provider should behave, and that's the
main point. For what would it be with NNTP provider, for example? Of
course, provider's/store's flags may tell you whether it has or has not
any meaning for it, which the actual solution does too.

Please do not call it "dirty hack", it is not any such thing. It's dirty
hack on IMAP protocol itself, but not for the code base.
        Bye,
        Milan
