MOVE is unimplementable unless messages are stored in a method that permits
messages to be moved from one mailbox to another.  IMAP explicitly does not
place such requirements upon the message store.

Even if added to IMAP, a MOVE command would *not* preserve the UID (which some
people say they want).  It can't; the semantics of UID preclude that.
