Since Dan mentioned GMail.. I'm more worried about the list of missing
IMAP features:

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78761&topic=12762

      * \Answered and \Recent flags on messages.
      * Folder subscriptions. All folders are always in the 'Subscribed'
        list.
      * Substring search. All searches are assumed to be words.
      * Searching arbitrary headers. Only some headers are available for
        searches: From/CC/BCC/To/Subject.

Can they really even call their implementation IMAP-compliant? Will this
cause problems for other servers when clients start assuming GMail
behavior/limitations as the standard?
