OT again... is there an IMAP expert in the house?

Grokking IMAP would take a very long time indeed. Life's too short if there
are other ways to achieve your ends ;-)

I just had a reviewer complain that my book mentions that IMAP is superior
to POP3 but then doesn't cover IMAP. While the reviewer complained that I
lamented the lack of space to cover it, it really *would* have taken too
long to thoroughly explain IMAP, which uses a complex on-line mail reading
model understood by relatively few.
