Description

It would be nice if org.apache.james.mailbox.model.SearchQuery and all the classes defined in that file were marked as java.io.Serializable.
It's just a marker interface so it should not really have any impact.

It would allow my (and probably some other) stores to talk to some backend using RMI or similar, thus potentially making the store distributed/scalable.

What do you think?
