Introduction ------------ IMAPClient aims to be a easy-to-use, Pythonic and complete IMAP client library with no dependencies outside the Python standard library. Features: * Arguments and return values are natural Python types. * IMAP server responses are fully parsed and readily usable. * IMAP unique message IDs (UIDs) are handled transparently. There is no need to call different methods to use UIDs. * Escaping for internationalised mailbox names is transparently handled. Unicode mailbox names may be passed as input wherever a folder name is accepted. * Time zones are transparently handled including when the server and client are in different zones. * Convenience methods are provided for commonly used functionality. * Exceptions are raised when errors occur. No need to check return values. IMAPClient is licensed under the new BSD license. Highlights for version 0.6 -------------------------- * Completely new response parsing code. Complex response items like BODYSTRUCTURE and ENVELOPE are now handled properly and interaction with the Gmail and MS Exchange IMAP implementations works correctly. * Support for the COPY command * Support for the XLIST extension (used by Gmail) * select_folder() now returns a parsed response containing all reported details about the selected folder. * The return value from list_folders(), list_sub_folders() and xlist_folders() now include the IMAP folder flags and folder delimiter. * Handling of internationalised folder names has been cleaned up. Folder names now are always returned as unicode strings. * Many bug fixes.
