We've got one decent plan proposed already, but no implementation. There are quite a few more recent threads on how to achieve multimaster replication. Nothing is as easy as anybody thinks because of how the IMAP specification is written, but thinking about the problem is always appreciated!
I can't find the thread at the moment, but the best plan we have so far is a token passing system. There was a proposed API posted to the list, which is a good starting point for anybody who'd like to begin implementing it. Aaron PS - What mail system are you using that does the [EMAIL PROTECTED] thing? I've been thinking about how to add support for user+mailbox to DBMail for a while but haven't gotten around to messing with the deep workings of the mailbox creation code yet.
