It would be interesting to implement them.

It could be possible to create *views* based on combinations of IMAP
URLs and flags or keywords ; for example :

- <imap://example.org/INBOX?NEW>
- <imap://example.org/INBOX?FLAGGED>
- <imap://example.org/INBOX?DRAFT>

- <imap://example.org/INBOX?KEYWORD$ShouldReply>
- <imap://example.org/INBOX?KEYWORD$ToDo>


Moreover, the syntax for searching in message part is extended by
draft-ietf-lemonade-rfc2192bis[*] :

- rfc2192 :

imap://<iserver>/<enc_mailbox>[uidvalidity]<iuid>[isection]

- rfc2192bis :

imap://<iserver>/<enc-mailbox>[uidvalidity]<iuid>[isection][ipartial]

There's definitely a lot of potential with IMAP URLs, isnt't there ?

It would be possible to _bookmark_ a message or a set of messages and
eventually to share them via an IMAP URLs (with ACLs set accordingly).

Not to mention URLAUTH.
