tkbiff knows some IMAP.

Maybe you just want to learn how to go about checking your IMAP mail with Expect.


nsmail has useful code.


SS http://www.hping.org/tclsbignum/imap4.tcl has experimental pure Tcl client-side IMAP implementation. Please test it against your account and report bugs to [email protected].

schlenk The imap code from SS was imported into tcllib cvs (modules/imap4), but isn't a proper tcllib module yet. If someone feels like writing docs, a testsuite or just patches to add the missing functionality, feel free to do so.

[ CL thinks he's seen code for a prototype client Tcl library. Where did it go? Scott Beasley?]

Mark Roseman I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall a Tcl wrapper around the "c-client" library (part of UWashington's pine) that does IMAP. But this would have been years and years ago when I was working for a place doing a commercial IMAP client (back in 1994?)


Or were you looking for iMap: an indexed map viewer?


[Explain the new client tcllib provides as of summer 2004.]
