I'm considering at least writing regexp matching for movemail so that you
could just move messages matching a particular regexp.
What advantage would MAPI bring? Is it faster than pop? It still bugs me
that exchange returns mail via pop in reverse order.
You would be able to access any mailbox that provides a MAPI front-end.
Various legacy mail systems do this (online services, etc). It would also
allow you to use the default system POP or IMAP client instead of having
your own. Not necessarily a good thing, but central configuration is
good.
