My fault - you were actually using the term "mailbox" correctly! I work with Windows guys who never refer to them as anything but "folders" and it rubs off. I was assuming multiple servers/accounts in my previous reply.

Ok, fair enough. Maybe there should be an MSELECT extension that specifies on which mailboxes the following commands should be run...

Ugh, then you have a modal response set, as responses run after an MSELECT will need to include a mailbox name as well as whatever ordinary response they give.

Maybe better to define a MULTISEARCH extension that returns "mailbox/message#"... results. Should we talk to the LEMONADE guys? :)

Actually, a little googling suggests they're considering the implementation of multi-mailbox search already: http://www.ietf.org/old/2009/proceedings/09mar/minutes/mo...

they are also working on implementing fuzzy search to allow ranked results for search-engine like use.
