Have you looked at using the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/squat annotation and 'squatter -a'?

I'm thinking of a way to squat all mailboxes on the server, but cycle through which ones get done that night.

There has been (still is?) discussion of an MSEARCH command which does searching across folders. The undocumented SCAN command which is used by Pine and UW IMAP is a LIST variant which will search or a string and return the mailboxes (NOT messages) in which the string occurs. This can help a client narrow its focus for the necessary SEARCHes. I have a working patch to add SCAN to Cyrus which I may get back to.

Ooo. Both sound cool! I bet that would really help....

In terms of "labels," can already do that in IMAP with user-definable flags, something I've always thought was a missing opportunity in most IMAP clients....
