Well, 'effort' is definitely too big word for the hack we use.
Our support was used to some old popper log format, so we have made
hack resulting in such lines:

User who (downloaded and) deleted 8 messages, 663454 bytes total.

Nov 30 16:27:16 mail1 pop3[19762]: login: [83.15.90.206] t63877a
plaintext User logged in
[...]
Nov 30 16:27:31 mail1 pop3[19762]: stats: t63877a 8 663454 0 0

User who didn't (downloaded and) deleted any messages; has 35 messages
in his INBOX, 10785042 bytes total:

Nov 30 16:18:59 mail1 pop3[19360]: login: [83.31.77.74] po30533
plaintext User logged in
[...]
Nov 30 16:19:00 mail1 pop3[19360]: stats: po30533 0 0 35 10785042


While it makes sense to have such logs from pop3 daemon doing simple
operations on only one folder it has none when it comes to IMAP.
What log can i possibly create after user connects to imap, applies
his rules to an INBOX ( moving most of the messages to various folders,
ie. marking them for deletion, not deleting them )? What when he reads
some messages without deleting them?
