Thanks Jeff... I saw the project go onto savannah, as I recall you're
one of the developers no?

I had a brief look... the mailutils IMAP server is written in C and
I'm working in Java. So that's one difference. As far as I can see the
current effort doesn't go near fixing my problems. I also suspect that
you guys wouldn't be interested in a Java based tool.

Having said that I would be happy to describe the design of my server
if you're interested and if you can see areas where we might
co-operate I'd be happy. Otherwise mine will just be free software
offered by my company and not GNU.
