Internet Mail Access Protocol
Often referred to as IMAP4 .
Defined in RFC 3501 [L1 ], with various extensions in other RFC's.

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. (Be sure to get the above file from the tcllib repository: there have been changes.)
Gerhard Reithofer 2010-06-30: After some investigation I found out that the module which I reworked is exactly that file above.
More information can be found in imap4, I'm currently discussing with AK about future of the module.
[ 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?) - EMJ (20-Mar-2008) this might perhaps have been http://www.island-resort.com/tcl-sift.htm .
Or were you looking for iMap: an indexed map viewer?
[Explain the new client tcllib provides as of summer 2004.]
