That would be a good hack! And I'd like to encourage someone to do it. But I feel its necessary to point out that most companies who use IMAP do so to avoid all the network traffic that dragging down each message to process it would entail. That's why POP is still around.
Just my $0.02 worth - don't let this discourage anyone!
