Eh? What?

MOVE could be implemented in any mailbox storage method I can think of.

You don't have to do a 'true' move. You could do a 'copy', 'delete' action 
- this could have advantages over the current 'copy', 'store', 'expunge' 
system because 'expunge' acts on ALL messages marked as 'deleted', but a 
'MOVE' command could only delete a single message after it's been copied.
