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: http://imapclient.freshfoo.com/ (Sorry.) All the best, Michael Foord
I wrote a PEP-style readme file that describes all the details of why the library was written and how it works, which is available from my mercurial repository:
http://hg.mxcrypt.com/python/imaplib2/raw-file/tip/README
The same repository also contains the library code and an example script that you can run if you have access to an IMAP4 server:
http://hg.mxcrypt.com/python/imaplib2/
Is there any interest in adding my code to a future version of Python 3.x standard library?
