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.
