The IMAP code pre-dates the NNTP code and the MailStore/ UserStore
stuff, which is why it doesn't fit.
What I think we need is for the MailStore class to serve up POP3
MailRepositories, SpoolRepositories or (IMAP) mailboxes as required.
When I started the IMAP stuff I thought to include IMAP mailbox
referrals but now I think I would forget that until we get a working
IMAP system.
And, currently, I don't have much time to do anything :-)
