tokio-imap

A tokio-based, fully asynchronous IMAP library, with strong focus on following the relevant specs, mainly IMAP4rev1, but with limited support for the Conditional STORE extension. The type system is used to help enforce correctness where possible. So far, there is only client code and lots of infrastructure that supposedly could be shared -- no server yet. (If you want a tokio-based server, look at IMAPServer.)

All feedback welcome. Feel free to file bugs, requests for documentation and any other feedback to the issue tracker or tweet me.

Feature highlights

• Fully asynchronous by using tokio-core and tokio-io
• Uses the type system to help enforce correct operation according to spec
• nom-based parser, so far only used for server response messages

Limitations

• Alpha-level implementation -- no tests yet, limited protocol coverage
• Server is totally unimplemented at this stage

How to get started

Have a look at the mailsync crate for example usage.
