Subject: dovecot X-MAILBOX and X-REAL-UID support in nnimap ?

Hi,

I've been testing a lot today with dovecot/nnimap/offlineimap/nnmaildir
and came accross this page :

http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual

Virtual mailboxes are pretty fast for searching (I have configured
dovecot with solr index) _all_ of the mailboxes I have. If I search all
boxes from the server directly from gnus, gnus will request a search
from dovecot for each mailbox, which does take some time on my
machine. Using a virtual box called 'All' makes the search almost
instant. So that's a win!

However gnus will report all messages residing in 'virtual.All' mailbox
which is not as neat as I want it to. I'd like gnus to report the real
mailbox.

Dovecot seems to come with a X-MAILBOX and X-REAL-UID fields (not
standard imap), which exactly do what I want. However nnimap doesn't use
these. So, maybe anyone already has a patch implementing this support ?

best
