 Bug fixes
 ---------
 
+* Use UID FETCH instead of FETCH for IMAP?  In the case of Cyrus, it
+  looks like UID FETCH does new-mail checks, while FETCH doesn't.
+
 * Implement operations for IMAP: FOLDER-VALID?, SEARCH-FOLDER, and
   APPEND-MESSAGE.
 
+* APPEND-MESSAGE should use the IMAP COPY command if the source and
+  target folder are both on the same server and belong to the same
+  user (i.e. if the URLs are equal except for the mailbox).  If the
+  IMAP APPEND command is used, the internal date should be set from
+  the unix from line, if available, or else computed from the
+  "received:" headers, or the "date:" header as a last resort.
+
 * Implement background thread to periodically send NOOP to IMAP server
   both to check for new mail and to keep the connection alive.

 Design changes
 --------------
 
+* Eliminate COPY-FOLDER operation.  Implement something closer to the
+  IMAP COPY operation, e.g. APPEND-MESSAGES.
+
 * Eliminate message properties.  Store this information in the headers
   and translate as needed.  E.g. unix from line in umail message would
   be stored as header in RMAIL message.
