The IMAP prefs driver is great news! Will try it next week once
I've finished my -secret project- for Kolab ;-)

Might I suggest a little change in the format: The root node is called <prefs> 
and the childs are called <prefs>, too. We might run into trouble
if we want to specify f.e. attributes in a DTD. IMHO it would be better if the 
child nodes are called <pref> like this:

<prefs>
    <pref>memo_categories:</pref>
    <pref>memo_colors:</pref>
</prefs>

What do you think?

Cheers,
Thomas
