i know there have been a couple of fuse attempts at imap integration -- i don't recall how far they've gotten. if it weren't for possibly already having been done, i'd think that would be an almost ideal summer-of-code project, since it would be a somewhat stand-alone project, and something with

Thanks for the many responses and active discussion. I agree that MIME support should be improved. For people in non-English speaking Countries, like me, bad MIME handling is a big argument against nmh. But also the point of how to handle attachments in replies should be worked on. Also,

Have we not beaten this subject into the ground yet? Here's where we differ. For me, it's easier to configure sendmail, so that the nmh configuration remains the same in any network environment. Alright ... so, my answer to this is: So what? Yes, it's easier for _you_. Great. But that doesn't

Is a single threaded IMAP *CLIENT* really as complex as the server side? No. It's about ten times *more* complex than the server side. Most so-called IMAP clients are really POP clients that know how to switch mailboxes. --lyndon ___ Nmh-workers

It's not necessary to write an entire IMAP implementation from scratch, there are a few possible codebases to work with. List member David Keijser wrote of his attempt in Python this October: http://www.mail-archive.com/nmh-workers@nongnu.org/msg01803.html And there's also:
