Maybe I'm beating a dead horse, but given the recent discussions about
how hard IMAP is, how it's more than just moving messages around
folders on the server, and how good Mulberry's IMAP supports is
(except IDLE and a few extensions IINM), maybe it would be a good idea
to:
- List the different options for IMAP support, i.e. libEtPan,
Mulberry's code, etc;
- List the features provided by each and those missing from some, or
all;
- Categorise those features between absolutely needed, optional and
useless (if any are optional or useless, that is. I don't know shit
about IMAP, I belong in the category of those who until recently—i.e.
until John C. Welch joind the list—thought IMAP was just about moving
messages around folders on the server);
- From the absolutely needed features, define a set of requirements
for Letters 1.0, e.g. the ability to deal with quotas, with the
existence or not of an imposed folder for sent messages, etc.
That should help define more precisely what Letters should be capable
of, with a minimum of subjectivity, and could even put an end to
_some_ seemingly endless discussions, couldn't it? (Yeah, maybe I'm an
idealist. With an OCD.)
