Branch: pkgsrc-2021Q3, Version: 0.13nb14, Package name: p5-IMAP-Client-0.13nb14, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

This module was created as a low-level inteface to any IMAP server. It
was built to be a 'clear box' solution to working with an IMAP environ-
ment. The idea is that anything an IMAP client should be able to do,
and any information available via the IMAP specs, should be available
to a client interface and user. This way, the full strength of the
IMAP protocol and data can be utilized, ideally in the most network-
efficient mannger possible, rather than being contrained only to a sub-
set of commands or data-limited responses. If the server says it, the
client should be able to see it.

This module also takes steps to be able to handle anticipated situa-
tions for the user rather than forcing a per-implementation behavior
for such expected events, such as referrals. IMAP::Client will fully
support referrals, and will transparently handle them for whatever com-
mand is issued to them (so long as the referral s for anonymous or the
same user with the same password - a new user or different password
would require a new username/password to be obtained. As of 0.01, this
is not supported, however the framework is down.

This module also tries to follow the various RFCs for IMAPrev1 communi-
cations very closely, enforcing client-side responsabilities where
appropriate.
