Hello python-ideas,
My most recent project lead me down a path that eventually ended up at a new implementation of imaplib based on [RFC-3501]. Although I started the project by gradually adding functionality to the existing IMAP4 library, some of the features that I required simply could not be merged in (without breaking everything). As a result, I wrote my own version of the library, which incorporates all existing functionality of imaplib and includes many of my own improvements.
There is an existing, well tested and widely used, replaced for imaplib
that
I would suggest should be the first for consideration in replacing imaplib:

I have it beat at the "Python 3 support is in the works" feature ;) Mine doesn't handle 2.x though.
That's not something you'd have to worry about anyway - new features, modules, and packages would only be accepted in the next 3.x release (3.3).
