[erlang-questions] imap and pop3 clients libs

[Erik Søe Sørensen]

I've recently used erlpop (which I at the time determined looked like the
best choice), and made some contributions then (TLS support), so perhaps my
github branch of it is the most usable.
As for imap clients, the one client I tried - can't at the moment tell
which, but erlmail sounds familiar  - wasn't standards compliant in its
parsing, so it botched up handling the hello message from the server (to my
great disappointment). I looked into fixing that, only to conclude that the
IMAP standard itself is rather clumsy wrt. syntax. Given a boatload of
spare time, I think the best way to get a decent IMAP client is to use
abnfc on the RFC's syntax specification. And then perhaps couple that with
the rest of erlmail.
