I wonder Kai> how much efficiency does this buy us? Quite a lot, I think, in the case of IMAP. AIUI, it uses IMAP's move command while splitting - if it didn't, it would have to download each article and upload it again. I'm not sure how hard it would be to special-case the code for a same-server split. I don't expect it would be hard, but I'm not volunteering ;-)
