Mostly. But I know that IMAP stores things like lastread locally, and I 
don't want to interfere with that.

So not... completely read-only. But yes, that's the general idea.

Everything I've read so far tells me that it's gonna be nigh-on 
impossible without brittle permission tricks or source hacking. I'm 
really hoping someone has a better answer.
