My impression (just from reading server logs) is that read-only is far 
from unheard. One of the webmail thingies is the only I can recall that 
does read-write.

Makes sense, too: It's easy to send a MYRIGHTS command and use the 
result to enable/disable e.g. a "create mailbox" button or menu entry, 
and much harder to write an edit dialog.

Now that I think about it, if a client does that, it may never run into 
the corner case that started the thread.
