Subject: [Imap-protocol] Tutorial creating a tiny new IMAPv4 server
Message-ID: <50B7D48E.7030407@jcea.es>

Hi, everybody. I developed a LMTP+POP3 server many years ago, and I
always considered interesting to create an IMAPv4 server too. I read
all the RFCs, I subscribed to several mailing lists, I examine gmail
imap4 traffic, etc., for years. I think IMAPv4 protocol is complex and
has tons of subtleties and I find a lot of stuff unspecified and known
only by folklore and experience (and pain :).

I wonder if there is out there any kind of "implement this first",
"beware this apparent trivial thing", "don't forget to consider this
apparent unimportant stuff".

Help? Advice? Curiosity?. Beside the "DON'T!!!!" :-).

PS: I think I have even exchanged some emails with Mark Crispin years
ago, and always pays a lot of attention to his writings here. You are
a lighthouse in Internet, guy. I will miss your prose and experience.
