I've dug around and found a few comments and even some examples of how to
use these functions. However, it begs the question - why do these functions
need callback drivers? Why cant they return the data in a string like the
mail_fetch... functions? I realise they would need new function names -
(mail_partial_fetch..? ) so existing clients don't break.

The reason - I'd love to see chunking of imap attachments in PHP (having my
webserver barf when some fool mails a 50meg powerpoint file to a few dozen
colleagues is a PITA), and the gods at Zend/PHP are more likely to let that
happen if there is a function in c-client (for which PHP-IMAP is but a thin
veneer).
