I agree. I don't think it's a good idea to go the yet-another-protocol
route unless it moves us closer to where we want to be.
My proposal all along has been to use ACAP or a subset. We have prototype
implementations of an ACAP profile for Sieve (along with a Sieve engine)
running on NT and Unix, and a prototype Windows GUI that manages scripts.
By using an ACAP profile, both client and server support becomes pretty
easy, and the client can talk to a full ACAP server just as well as a mini,
Sieve-only one. So we get rapid deployment and move closer to a real
solution (full ACAP servers).
