from http://www.imap.org/whatisIMAP.html  

There is a companion protocol to IMAP, developed at Carnegie Mellon 
University. It is called the "Application Configuration Access Protocol", or 
ACAP, and provides the same location independent access to
configuration files, address books, bookmark lists, etc, that IMAP offers for 
mailboxes.

See  http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/cyrus/acap/

It might be worth looking at (I just saw it so don't ask me anything about it 
:) )
