F. added the comment:
Imaplib2 now supports Python 3. Piers and me propose to merge imaplib2 into
standard library as imaplib.
Excerpt from our conversation:
Piers: ...Thanks for bringing it (this thread) to my attention. I entirely
agree with your comments.
Me: ...I found the criticism of the "threads - a heavy solution"?
counterproductive. Not that I know anything about threads...
Piers: I'm not sure what the whole anti-threads thing was about all those years
ago since I always loved using them. Maybe early implementations were
slow, or, more likely, early adopters were clumsy ("giving threads to
a novice is like giving a blow torch to a baby" to paraphrade a quote :-)
