First of, I find the new note plasmoids significantly more useable than their KDE3.5 cousins for reasons I am not certain of, but kudos.

However, i would like if notes were able to be stored in an imap account/folder of my choice. That way, I could still have it on my desktop, but I could also be able to go to my webmail access and see my notes. Or some people may use it as a way of easily sharing their notes with others.

Example use case:
1. I create a note of groceries to pick up
2. forgot to make mobile copy of note (printout, transcription)
3. arrive at store sans note
4. get friend to use mobile device with web access to go to my web mail frontend
5. view note details

This might be more readily accomplished through the Plasma Network support being done as part of GSOC. Perhaps in the future remote systems could simply function as backends which would serve your login session.

Sounds like that would be a more general solution -- which is fine. As long as I can have a work flow like the one I suggested. I already have remote IMAP access, and notes seem like something analogous enough to emails to fit.

It is also likely that Akonadi will get support for notes.
Actually I think it already has surpport for notes in local files and IMAP access (independent of data type) is currently being worked on.
