Subject: IMAP protocol help
Date: Sun, 23 Dec 2012 08:15:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874njcdi54.fsf@lifelogs.com> (raw)
There's surprisingly few Google-able explanations of IMAP, because the
search terms are very common. I want a walkthrough that shows how the
protocol works with examples, for all the common functionality up to
newer stuff like NOTIFY and QRESYNC.
The RFCs are spectacularly useless. I don't know why, but I have read
them several times and they answer "is this formatted properly?" but not
"how does an IMAP conversation look?". Perhaps it's just me...
This is for gnus-sync and so I can be more helpful understanding and
debugging IMAP in general. I would greatly appreciate any pointers.
Thanks
Ted
