UW-IMAP even does IMAP poorly :) I remember a while back ddm
discovered that UW-IMAP copied an entire folder to /tmp, opened the
file, then deleted it before "purging" deleted messages.  The "purge"
function was a matter of traversing the open file handle and copying
the not-marked-for-deletion messages back to the original folder
location.

This isn't a bad means of doing this if a) you don't have many users,
b) have tons of CPU and memory c) have a HUGE /tmp area, and d) have
users who don't have tons of e-mail with huge attachments.
