I believe that IMAP support should be done mapping the files in the

That's an OS-dependent solution. Let's think simple here. Local
caching of remote files (remote == !MH format) with an event-based
cache manager. i.e. annotate the file locally, signal the manager to
sync.
This way, commands should not need to be rewritten.
They shouldn't have to be. MH already has nice hooking features.
Time to add a couple more hooks.
I certainly would forgot any change that adds superfluous complexity
to the software. But certainly related software projects can
achieve these goals.
Just my opinion... it is the reason I really like MH. It is simple,
small, fast and powerful... as Unix!
Whee!
