Bug Description

From user Joey Morin:

"are there any plans to imap/imaps support to deja dup? i would love to use deja dup, but without imap i simply won't be able to. great tool though. keep up the good work!"

Duplicity does have support for imap/imaps. We'd just need to expose it in the UI like we do Amazon S3 as a special location. I'm not terribly excited about giving it such prominent UI space, as it strikes me as a not-common option. But it would be nice if we supported it somehow (either through hidden gconf option or an advanced tab or something).

Support for this should appear in GVFS first, then we can expose it in deja dup. I'm trying to reduce the dependence on custom duplicity backends.
