I'd like to take this one, too.

RoundCube may roll its own, but I know the popular Horde IMP uses this
extensively. I suspect that the extension's going to have the performance
one would desire when dealing with giant mailboxes, but c-client is hard to
deal with. I've had experience with c-client for a while (stretching back
to Pine days), and yet still would like to roadmap our way to a modern
implementation.
