Is c-client library is thread safe? Is it built as multithreaded by default on UNIX?
Most of c-client is thread-safe; however, on some C library implementations the select() call may not be thread-safe.
Also note that c-client has numerous globals in its environment base, manipulated by the mail_parameters() call. These are normally set once, during program initialization, so this is not a problem. It is, however, important to keep in mind that mail_parameters() is a global operation and as such impacts the behavior of all threads.
