Subject: why does mutt still use MSNs for IMAP?
Well, we use MSNs to handle EXPUNGE and EXISTS responses. They are used to fetch non-cached message headers when opening the mailbox, and in response to new EXISTS responses. FETCH (as opposed to UID FETCH) also supplies guarantees about EXPUNGE messages not arriving in the middle.
I'm pretty busy with public-inbox as it is; but I could be inclined to work on a patch to rip MSN use out of mutt entirely if I feel like taking a break from public-inbox.
To be blunt, I've spent an awful lot of time fixing up the IMAP code the past few years, getting it stable, and improving performance; I'm not likely to accept this kind of "drive-by" patch.
