Yeah well you see, that's what I don't want. I don't want options added to Binc IMAP that most admins won't enable (consider the huge CPU load, many mail servers are slow machines with fast I/O), and which also breaks standards for storing email. The possibility is there, but I'd rather add a filter/hook than make it a native option.
