The latter of those two options would *be* such an option:

	tcpdump -Z imap

or something such as that ("-Z" isn't my suggestion for the name, I just
picked a letter at random) - it'd be like "-V", only it'd either

	1) show only the top-level summary lines for all protocols other
	   than the selected protocol, and show all the protocol lines for
	   the selected protocol (more than one such option could be
	   specified)

or

	2) show the top-level summary line and all the detail lines for
	   the selected protocols and not show any information about the
	   other protocols

so that if you specify "imap" to that flag it'll show all the IMAP
information - and if you specify "smtp", it'll show all the SMTP
information, etc..

Making a special option that only knows about IMAP would be wrong -
there's nothing special about IMAP that it, and no other protocol,
should have that capability.
