I almost always agree with Mark Crispin's comments posted
to this list (as should we all).  However, I think adding
"move" would be a good thing since many (most?) clients
offer both "move" and "copy" options to the user.  Some
servers could more efficiently implement move.  I'm working
on a server for which I'd like to block move but not
copy to certain mailboxes.  Forcing clients to implement
move using copy means I can't do this.

Simpler is better.

Matching user interface actions to protocol actions is also good.
