Tramp would then require nnimap, which is not so good. In fact, tramp-imap.el is currently broken (because imap-hash.el used the removed imap-fetch-safe) and I'm waiting for the dust to settle before fixing it. The lack of an outcry tells me they are not widely used and I'm considering removing them form Tramp altogether. If there are no users for a feature, no matter how great you think it is...

But it also need UI work so for now it's on my TODO list but not at the top. Ted
