From: Gerhard Reithofer on 28 Jun 2010 04:58 Hi TCLers, there was a dicussion about tcl-based imap protocol client and why it's not in the tcllib. I've extended the imap4.tcl code from Salvatore Sanfilippo to provide a tcl package, I've added some todos from him, implemented the IMAP LIST command and wrote a tcldoc manpage. As I don't have the time to work on it continuously I'd like to ask you, how I could provide the current stuff which should be a good basis for additional development. BTW: IMHO it should include the most important functions for implementing a mail client for IMAP or to automatize IMAP mail handling. Any hits? -- Gerhard Reithofer Tech-EDV Support Forum - http://support.tech-edv.co.at

Dear Gerhard, thank you for that contribution. IMHO you should think about supporting it and also get maintainer. Only in this case, the code will stay alive. Many of the TCLLib module maintainers have no time at all but this is better than no maintainer. Andreas may look to the code and may answer and invite you to take this role. Regards, Harald

What do I have to do for that? The code lies aroung on my machine. Send it to Andreas K.? -- Gerhard Reithofer Tech-EDV Support Forum - http://support.tech-edv.co.at

But until you can get that sorted out, you might want to place the code in the Tcl Half-Bakery (at http://wiki.tcl.tk/_repo/) so it does not get lost. /Ashok

Do try to eventually get into Tcllib though, it is a much more controlled environment. |
