:) So presumably maildir (with courier, rather than mbox with uw-imap) 
:) would somewhat alleviate this problem?

I have a patch for maildir for UW-Imap, even 2006b. It's unpublished, but 
for imap 2004x, you can find it in my web page (address below). If anyone 
wants to try the new patch for 2006, please write off list.
