Subject: nnimap.el is available for way-alpha testing.

Message-ID: <vpdbuaj31n3.fsf@naiad.fac.cs.cmu.edu> (raw)
I've got nnimap.el and imap4rev1.el up for ftp from:
ftp://olivier.pc.cs.cmu.edu/pub/
Please take a look and give me your comments.
Some notes:
* The code is pretty gross. There are certainly some things that could
be fixed to work better. The intent was to get something working.
* There's at least one things (the group-parameters hack) that I don't
think Lars likes. (Hi Lars!) It'll be changing in the future.
* There are a number of ways things will probably change in the future to
improve reliability, compatibility, and performance. I welcome any patches,
suggestions, whatnot about the code.
* I can only guarantee the code to work with the Cyrus IMAP server right now.
I don't have a uwash server to play with. If anyone has a uwash server I
can have an account on, or can write an imap-open-stream function for the
uwash server, let me know. I believe there's something funky about it.
* I'm gonna be asking Lars for some new optional backend calls that should
make this implementation a lot more optimal. (Hi Lars!) At the moment, it's
handicapped greatly by being pushed into the NNTP framework. This is
not helped by the fact that IMAP isn't optimal for large numbers of folders.
I suspect that if you -only- read mail via IMAP, everything will be
okay. I need to optimize the hell out of this thing, because most of
our campus is going to be using IMAP to read news soon. Gnus is quite
likely their only hope...
There's a doc file in the directory with some very rudimentary usage notes.
If you have any thoughts, questions, ideas, mail me, or reply to here
(if no one minds).
John Prevost.
