Hi All,
Over at JBoss Mail Server (http://jboss.org/products/mailservices),
we're knee deep in IMAP and have gotten it working well enough for
ThunderBird with a few glitches (we're still at an early stage and of
course Mail.app for instance, goes insane shortly after connecting but
this first release is mainly interested in T-Bird anyhow). In order to
do this I found the JAMES IMAP test framework scripts increadibly useful
especially where the spec was really vague.
(http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/james/server/tags/pre-v2and3-merger-trunk/proposals/imap2/test)
However as it stands these appear to no longer be part of the regular
JAMES source tree. While I understand that the IMAP proposals are
essentially dead for whatever reason, I think that the tests themselves
are at least salvageable. I would like to suggest moving the test back
into the main source tree (somewhere) for that day that JAMES decides to
tackle IMAP again. Which I hope it does, its lonely not having much of
an active competition in this area (though at least that is sorta
heating up) which I always find helpful though I realize that is a
unique viewpoint. On that note, I'd like to point you to an ANTLR
grammar for IMAP under a BSDish license:
http://www.epostmail.org/code.html#source -- its not complete but its a
great start (even if the developers aren't very friendly:
http://linuxintegrators.com/acoliver/code/2006/04/05/x-0219.html)!
Thanks,

P.S. If you have something that you want to make sure I read SOON then
please email me directly, I only passively monitor this list and am
pretty busy. Thanks.
