-------------------------------------------------------------
We can always copy/paste the CopyProcessor :D (just joking)
Or we can fix AbstractChainedProcessor.isAcceptable to not rely on reflection
for business logic, which by itself is not really a best practice.
Or we can avoid complication by refactoring out a common abstract ancestor for
Copy and Move processors.

I will look into it when I have more time (which may not be that soon).

> As we see at
> http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-imapmove-command/ballot/ IETF is
> about to finally accept the IMAP MOVE extension.
> This extension enables great performance optimization possibilities for the
> more advanced Mailstore backends, eg the ones that use a underlying
> relational or non-relational database:
> One of the most common usage scenarios in IMAP is moving messages across
> folders, and with the MOVE extention it can be finally accomplished without a
> COPY/DELETE cycle on certain Mailbox backends.
> Therefore, in my belief, it would be very nice to have that extension
> implemented in James.
> Some of the bundled Mailstore implementations already are based on SQL/noSQL
> datasources, and can directly benefit from it.
> Some of the independent Mailstore implementations (including mine) can
> benefit from it too.
> Some of IMAP clients (including Thunderbird as of 3.something) already
> support that extension or the X-MOVE or X-AOL-MOVE one.
> So James has a great opportunity to be the leader of standards adoption on
> the server side.
> What do you think? Please comment.
