As I said before, I am about to start a mass migration of thousands 
accounts (pop3)
that might take a really long time.

Before knowing Perdition, my plan was to write a pop3 proxy (have done 
that in the past)
that monitors if an account has been transferred or not and points to 
the right server (new/old).

What I wish that Perdition would do with two mailboxes was to simulated 
them as one. So, that
if there are 4 messages in server A and 10 in server B, the client would 
see them as one server
with 14 messages.  Probably there will be some uid issues to resolve.

I was hoping that this would be what that option do.  I really don't see 
a point in using a round
robin server select for imap/pop3 in real world.
