Thank you! I will study your work, how fortunate I feel that you've been the one to do this.

I cannot get a connection to the server to download right now; maybe in a few minutes. Until I can download I cannot look inside the archives to see what's there. Assuming I understood you correctly, what is in the binary package, is only the compiled imap library archive (and headers, naturally), is this probably correct? That would be a shortcut? Will this allow my build of the client to be more simple? The exact relationship of "c-client" to the imap library isn't clear to me, even after reading the maintainer's documentation over two occasions (today and last month). Maybe now it will all be simple and i won't need any more help with the UW IMAP C library part of the Perl work i want to do. I will holler if that isn't the case, tho :-). Hmm, Google didn't find this sourceforge project for me. Surprising!
