Since the previous thread seems to have died without agreed solution,
let's try again :)

I don't think it's such a good idea to deprecate RENAME entirely like
Mark wants. Doing it with copy+expunge would require user to have enough
quota for a copy of the mailbox (doing it in smaller blocks would be
even more annoying), renaming large hierarchies could be even more
slower, and then there was the annotation problems.

So, what about the UIDVALIDITY notify? I like that, it breaks nothing
and would allow clients supporting it to keep their message cache.

x RENAME foo bar
x OK [NEW-UIDVALIDITY 123456] Renamed.

If foo had children mailboxes, they'd all be updated to contain the same
UIDVALIDITY.
