I agree.  I don't think it's a good idea to go the yet-another-protocol 
route unless it moves us closer to where we want to be.

My proposal all along has been to use ACAP or a subset.  We have prototype 
implementations of an ACAP profile for Sieve (along with a Sieve engine) 
running on NT and Unix, and a prototype Windows GUI that manages scripts.

By using an ACAP profile, both client and server support becomes pretty 
easy, and the client can talk to a full ACAP server just as well as a mini, 
Sieve-only one.  So we get rapid deployment and move closer to a real 
solution (full ACAP servers).
