Hello,

I'm just starting to investigate bincimap; since Courier-IMAP has introduced
a blatant change to UIDL formats for POP3, this seems like a reasonable time
to see about bailing out!

I've got a couple of questions which I couldn't find answered in the FAQ:

1. bincimap uses a 'checkpassword' interface, and looking at DJB's
   definition, it seems it just passes a username and password down a pipe.
   Does this mean that bincimap doesn't support SASL authentication?
   The documentation talks about disabling cleartext password mechanisms
   for non-TLS connections, which seems to imply that some non-cleartext
   mechanism must be available.

2. In the definition of IMAPdir, it says "One entry in an IMAPdir folder is
   a candidate for a mailbox". As an example, a file called "work" is shown
   as an mbox file, which maps to IMAP folder "work"

   So, how does this mechanism distinguish between mbox files, and metadata
   files like 'bincimap-subscribed', 'bincimap-uidvalidity' etc?

Thanks,

Brian.
