IMAP

Date: 7/4/2007

Well there is a ground swell of descent in the ranks over the sub-par IMAP(full) implementation in Scribe. So I've decided that instead of lauching into re-writing the back end code I'll write a new caching IMAP implementation on top of the existing codebase. This will use Maildir backend for caching and I will trial some ideas regarding that and indexing and so on as a little sandboxed test project before trying to change the whole mail folder format over to Maildir. That way I can weight up the pros and cons without commiting to an all out rewrite.

Hopefully this will result in a fast and friendly implementation of IMAP(full) for Scribe and also out of that will come a bunch of useful code for expanding that out to things like local mail storage and remote calendaring.
