I did much of the work on the ioslave before work took over my life. :) 
I know the whole IO Slave architecture has changed quite a bit since
then.  So the first thing to do is get it converted over.  I've been out

do.  From what I recall, I had the code up to where it would get a list
of folders, maybe messages too.
