My initial email for this request was tied into DSPAM but it could be expanded
for anything really. How about a folder called "STATS", everytime you access
the folder, it contains your quota info on that account ? How about dynamic
LDAP distribution lists  - You drop a draft msg into a folder and it pipes it
into a script that scans a LDAP directory and looks for all users in a certain
cost center and emails the msg to them. The end users simply drag and drop.
Generally, people tend to clutch software that improves workflow especially 
when they dont have to learn a new piece of software. Most  people know how
to use Netscape and Outlook. I'm really looking at this from an enterprise
company aspect to improve work flow. 

Hmm, I wonder if an entire list system could be based on these folder
triggers ?? It would certainly change the way people manage lists. They
only ever have to know how their imap client works. This could be a great
way to manage private, moderated mailinglists for software such as Mailman
or EZMLM. The list software would only send it out to the distribution list
if it enters thru BINC - which requres the user to authenticate via TLS/SSL.
I'll have to think a little more on this one. The possibilities are endless.

Thanks for adding the "folder trigger" idea  to your TODO, hope it makes it
for 1.3.
