Brad,
Hi, I think I recall you being interested in writing an IMAP server in Python. I have begun writing an IMAP server, and I was curious if you'd like to join me in the development.
I have an IMAP server based on asychat, my own protocol handler, and ZODB. Zope itegration is imminently planned. Below is the readme.
I'll be setting up a site on starship tonight/tommorow to host the project. Are interested?
I've been planning writing an IMAP server (at least initiually in python) that uses PostgreSQL as it's data store for quite a while now. The thing that currently makes it kludgey is yet inadequate support for long (>8k) strings and inefficient storage for BLOB's (for keeping attachments) The first is being currently addressed (probably in timeframe of ~3 months) the second is doable in several ways but there is no consensus yet how to do it.
So, yes I'm interested.
I'm also interested, weather it is possible to use IMAP as an access protocol for editing zope contents. AFAIK there are some provisions for storing edited contents in IMAP4 and most properties can probably be expressed as header lines or nested mailboxes?
Yeah I am also interested. I am still working on NotMail at the moment. I it is getting a lot closer to release quality, but please CC with any discussion on this. Cheers, Benno
