Speaking of the body structure part of IMAP...
One thing that has been a desired feature since nnimap's first days:
partial download of messages. In particular: to be able to read the
text parts of a message and delay the download of big attachments.
This was very important 10 years ago, but is probably less so today.
Lines are generally faster, and people are less likely to send big
attachments. Instead they send a URL.
But since this is a capability of the protocol, I think it's worth
considering. The nnimap backend leaning on the message structure
knowledge of the server may have other benefits than partial
downloads...?
