Jason,

Are you proposing to add the attributes you require or a generic mechanism
similar to the one used for MailAttributes?

Having the ability to associate arbitary name/value pairs would be great.
fetchmail needs this to be able to associate users with their external
message store accounts. I'm sure there are many other potential uses too.
