You need to start distinguishing between "SSH the protocol" and "SSH the
shell implementation", afaict the protocol should allow any use like
this without ever granting access to a shell, like sftp-server etc.
However, when you are planning any extra-non-standard-features on an
imap server, the server can fits the needs by implementing anything
required.
