the upas/fs in contrib quanstro/nupas does do caching.  it was
written become i had a few users with 500mb mailboxes, and since
access was slow (the file server had a couple 100gb ide disks), the
imap mail client timed out and opened the mail box again.  since the
file server didn't have more than ~100 mb of buffers, this would
make the second download slower.  rince, rather, repeat until
the mail host goes boom.
