Ian,

My feeling is that this is a feature badly needed now for IMAP. How to implement it? Seems your solution reasonable.

I'm just dealing with a case of different clients storing sent messages in different "Sent" folders. People use different clients because sometimes they use a web interface and sometimes some piece of software.

There isn't even a convention that you should have different mailboxes for 
any purpose. Gmail broke that, when they decided that tags (mathematically 
"sets") were more useful than mailboxes (mathematically "categories"). 
Mailboxes are logically equivalent to restricting emails to carrying a 
single tag.

As I said earlier in the thread, registration of some new IMAP flags is 
probably a better way to do this. The NAME of a mailbox is language 
dependent, so it should not be standardised. The NAME of a flag need not be 
presented to a user, so it can be standardised. It would also allow richer 
semantics, and on a per-message basis.

Of course, the presentation to the user could be as if the messages were 
all filed in a separate mailbox.
