Well. Disclaimer: since my main machine died last year i haven't
tested IMAP no more, and i don't personally use IMAP; i now have
installed dovecot, but it will take a few days until i actually
can test this (need to reread about certificates, and the pseudo
password database -- unfortunately i only have stored the test
configuration file, not the other files needed, sigh; it was two
lines, iirc).
I really want to join in and "release" the preview-1 today or
tomorrow, which does not have IMAP support, so shall i really need
to fix something i think the time has come to change the git(1)
layout and introduce release-specific update/bugfix branches.
I will try hard to reinstantiate IMAP support for the final
release, almost anyone else seems to use it. It worked just fine
once i tested it last, there was nothing at all that caught my
attention.

Doom [1].
I really, really would like to have a really proper network layer
with SMTP, POP3, IMAP and NNTP support, including memory BIO-based
SSL/TLS support that includes OCSP etc. But that will take time.
Sorry.
And ciao -- i'll get back to this once i can test.
