i'm afraid i'd prefer to die first, so i'm unlikely to implement it.
pop3 is `yet another protocol that would not be needed if people used a (any)
reasonable file service protocol', but at least it's small.
imap is ludicrous. #C/cmd points to a simpler yet more general approach.
imap is a good example of `every protocol its own, disjoint operating system'.
