To support a dynamic email account (one with new messages and deleted
messages) and to implement the Idle and Notify commands, I need to
handle server notifications. What I plan to do is implement a monitor
loop which will do a readline on the input from the server. Each new
line will be tested to see if it is a notification. If so, the
appropriate action will be taken. If it's not a notification, it will
be printed to a buffer stream. Currently, commands are directly sent to
the server socket and replies are read directly from the same socket.
In the new approach, replies will be read from the buffer.
One complication is that I must ensure that all the CRLFs in the buffer
must remain intact. Another complication is that I cannot just do a
readline on a blocking stream. There maybe some time between
notifications, which would normally cause the readline to timeout. Idle
and Notify commands can wait for 20 minutes or more.
Comments? Suggestions? I'd really appreciate advice on the best way to
handle this.

Just a quick update on an Imap class. The following methods have been
implemented and, for the most part, tested:
Abort, AddMessageFlags, Authed, BuildSequenceSet, Capabilities,
CleanUpMailBoxList, Connect, CopyMessage, CopyMessages, CreateMailbox,
Debug,
DeleteMailbox, DeleteMessage, DeleteMessages, Encrypt, Exec, Expunge,
FindValue, GetMessage, GetMessageFlags, Host, LSub, List, ListMailboxes,
ListSubscribedMailboxes, Logout, MailboxInfo, MailboxStatus,
MoveMessage, MoveMessages, Noop, Password, Port, RemoveMessageFlags,
RenameMailbox, Search, SelectMailbox, SetMessageFlags, User, Welcome
The testing has been done on a static email account. As a result,
copy, move and delete messages have not been properly tested. I'll
follow up on that in another message.
