Thank you.  I appreciate the advance notice.

While on the subject, I wonder if there is any chance of a change to
the syntax of the 'USER' command to enable the client to request mail
for a number of usernames and for all usernames except for certain
names?

Possible syntax could be 'USER user1+user2+...+nodename' for the
former and 'USER ~user1~user2~...+nodename' for the latter.

With a global lock on nodename when the extended syntax is used.

Regards, Mike.
