Yes, Android (and some other clients) use an internal API which is based on
a change log, but that logging didn't include IMAP specific information at
the time, and couldn't be used to implement this feature.  More recently,
we've updated that log, and its used to support CONDSTORE, and work is
under-way to use it for this feature, but that work is not yet complete.
