The big problem is what the protocol should be. Use some existing RPC
protocol? It should be something extensible so that a plugin in imap
process can talk to a plugin in storage process, without the base
processes knowing anything about the details (e.g. imap-quota plugin
asking quota usage from storage's quota plugin). In any case the client
side API should be asynchronous. That can make it annoyingly difficult
to use though. Wonder if I could switch to erlang or something for the
imap/pop3 processes :)

You will need to thread calls, waiting for long-running commands. Unless
you switch to Erlang, of course :-)
If you don't overdo the XML document part, you can use your own
implementation or use saxon (sp?) or another serial XML processor.
