add ios push mail on not-soon-todo list

someone asked at the the recent golang rotterdam meetup if this would be added.
i looked into it, and it requires implementing an imap extension
XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE (not documented, but apple published modified dovecot
software for macos server that implemented it). to send push notifications to
the ios mail app, you need a APNS certificate. the tutorials online explain you
have to purchase macos server (a deprecated product) and extract the APNS
certificate. the certificate is valid for one year. i'm not sure it still
works, and it feels like it could stop working at any moment. but implementing
it seems doable.
