[Twisted-Python] IMAP implementation

[Yehuda Deutsch]

Hi,

I am implementing Twisted as an IMAP server.
The actual data is retrieved over API, both metadata and MIME messages.

I am encountering several issues, but I could not find any clear cut
answers besides trying and excepting...

Are there examples of IMAP servers based on twisted or some experiments?
(twimapd is nice but limited)

Thanks
Yehuda

https://github.com/twisted/quotient is a complete IMAP server. I have not heard of 'twimapd' before; what is that?

But, rather than looking for an example which will fix all of your problems and answer all of your questions, perhaps you could just ask your questions here?

I did not find the IMAP part there, only pop.

Currently I am stuck with issues related to our API, and how to integrate
it.
I am working on a clone using gmail's API, should be the same. (can be
useful for gmail imap sync behind firewall...)

I'm sorry, you're right; our IMAP code was in a previous iteration of that software :-\.

Ok, I'll try to dig more for now, and as for Twisted specific questions
I'll bring up here.

Twimapd is a tiny server for accessing Twitter tweets, mentions and more
via IMAP... cool POC.

Since I started using twisted I am trying not to see in every project a
nail...

For what it's worth, at LEAP we're using heavily twisted IMAP for our
local encrypted email proxy:

https://github.com/leapcode/leap_mail/

actually I should cleanup a couple of patches one of these days.

1. Thanks, this helps a lot. Already took some pointers and will look
through for more.
2. Great project, might be very useful, as is, for an organization where I
am a member.

Wow, this looks like a very cool project!

Would you have any interest in submitting a success story https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/SuccessStories to ***@twistedmatrix.com?
