 Okay, so you need to add a "middle" interface layer, which translates
"set delete/expunge" commands to "move", etc.

 The easiest way to do this would be to create (or modify) an IMAP proxy,
thus not hurting the integrity of the IMAP server.

 Fortunately, Cyrus IMAPd contains an IMAP proxy (imap/proxyd.c), you
have to modify this, and "that's all". Then add this proxy in the middle,
and you're done.
