Unfortunately, I can't follow this discussion any longer. I evaluated
the possibility to base a thesis project on (the IMAP part) of JAMES,
but getting that part functional seems to take more time beforehand
than I'm actually able to spend. Maybe I'll come back some day.

Sorry to see you go Peter. If possible can you visit the discussion as and
when you get time and advice on IMAP. It seems to be a pretty sizable
project.

I have started thinking about writing some tests for IMAP. I was thinking
that tests that work with other IMAP Server would be a good way to validate
RFC match.

Yes, but as Noel said well last week, testing real-world client compliance and RFC compliance are somewhat separate things. I've begun to write up some rough plans for the testing architecture that he was talking about, and I think that a careful reading of the RFCs to produce functional tests will give us excellent coverage for the full range of RFC functionality. As a separate step, we will need to record scripts of client server behavior between existing clients and existing IMAP servers, and find a way to incorporate the peculiarities we find into our testing infrastructure.

Noel, am I reading you right? Corrections welcome :)
