This module was created as a low-level inteface to any IMAP server. It
|
|
was built to be a 'clear box' solution to working with an IMAP
|
|
environment. The idea is that anything an IMAP client should be able
|
|
to do, and any information available via the IMAP specs, should be
|
|
available to a client interface and user. This way, the full strength
|
|
of the IMAP protocol and data can be utilized, ideally in the most
|
|
network-efficient mannger possible, rather than being contrained only
|
|
to a subset of commands or data-limited responses. If the server says
|
|
it, the client should be able to see it.
|
|
|
|
This module also takes steps to be able to handle anticipated
|
|
situations for the user rather than forcing a per-implementation
|
|
behavior for such expected events, such as referrals. IMAP::Client
|
|
will fully support referrals, and will transparently handle them for
|
|
whatever command is issued to them (so long as the referral s for
|
|
anonymous or the same user with the same password - a new user or
|
|
different password would require a new username/password to be
|
|
obtained. As of 0.01, this is not supported, however the framework is
|
|
down.
