Fair call. It's been it while since I last used imaplib, but what's clunky is its abstraction, or lack thereof. For some operations, it just returns the reply from the server, as a list of strings, and it is not documented what the list means (i.e. how the server reply has been split). I can use it to do what I want, but it doesn't leave me feeling confident that it won't break depending on the phase of the moon (or, more likely, if I use a different IMAP server). What I was hoping for was that someone would tell me that twisted.imap is a joy to work with, rock solid, and worth the effort. Or that it's not. cheers, John _______________________________________________ sapug mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/sapug
