I agree having a METADATA subtree for all kinds of mailbox properties
like this is useful.

Still, for storage size, I like a STATUS data item better, particularly
because it can be queried for several mailboxes at the same time using a
single LIST command. And it pairs quite well with the existing MESSAGES
item (with QUOTA in mind).

Also, I am hoping that this is simple enough that it can be part of
IMAP4rev2 once we get there, thereby removing it from the capability list.

Regards,

Stephan.
