well, I had a look into the RFC and shallow look into the imap io-slave.
If I'm not mistaken, we could try to hack a very basic support into
kmail. I.e. get a list of available mails of the imap server, get the
mails and delete mails. It won't be very performant, but a least it could
work, and that's what everybody initially wants to have.

In my last mailings with Don, he suggested to look into the io-slave
first, and then try to code the kmail application.

I think, the io-slave may be rather useful right now, so it would be
better to do a CVS fork and make an imap beta client. This way the HEAD
revision of kmail can mature for KDE2 and the forked imap kmail client
would be available shortly afterwards.
