The idea sounds good, i have been looking around for a while, but it seems ACAP protocol it is not widely implemented :( You can have a look: http://www.imap.org/products/database.php Anyway it will be great to have ACAP support in Courier!
== PD: I have always looking for something similar to ACAP but for storing bookmarks, does anybody know any project?
