A good thing, I think. Thanks for working on this. It may not be feasible to get imap working with rmail in time for Emacs 23.1; better to finish up the mbox support, to give enough time for testing/bugfixes. How long do you want to wait before replacing the old rmail? Say, a couple of weeks? I would suggest making the switch sooner rather than later, so that it gets as much testing as possible.
