I second that email commands are an important feature
(Thus I would raise the priority.)

Apard from just listing, searching and help commands are
also needed to
actually manipulate the issue. Thus there is a need for
authenficiation.
The real solution would be to have a gnupg signature which
gets checked.
As a workaround a check on the From addresses or additional
passwords
might be feasable.
