Unfortunately, too many people follow the logical trail of
"it's difficult for me to figure it out"
-> "it's too difficult for anybody to figure it out"
-> "servers can do all this other stuff that IMAP requires, so there's no such

-> "we should add a new protocol feature so the server does it and I don't
have to figure it out"
