I'm not sure if I know enough about the guts of 'imap.el' to hack this
together or not.  Fortunately, it is easy to add a new URL type. :)  If
anyone (simon?) wants to work on this, let me know and I'll concentrate on
getting the documentation on how to do this written tonight.  I would LOVE
to see this get written.

It should probably be distributed as part of or along with imap.el - is
this only distributed with gnus now?

This would kick serious %!@#%!@, I might even gripe about the ridiculously
low quotas on our imap server so I could actually use it.  (Pffft, who
needs only 135 megabytes for storing email :)
