Dan Winship 00f2a8d64e New file containing camel_imap_command and friends. Major
* providers/imap/camel-imap-command.c: New file containing
        camel_imap_command and friends. Major camel_imap_command rewrite
        to remove duplicated code, make the parsing of literals be
        more safe/correct, deal with RECENT/EXPUNGE responses more
        consistently, and make it possible to implement the AUTHENTICATE
        command.

        * providers/imap/camel-imap-utils.c (imap_parse_nstring): New
        function, to parse an IMAP "nstring".

        * providers/imap/camel-imap-store.c: Move command stuff to
        camel-imap-command.c. Update for camel_imap_command changes.

        * providers/imap/camel-imap-folder.c: Update for
        camel_imap_command changes.
        (imap_append_message): CRLF filter the message before sending it.

        * providers/imap/Makefile.am: Add camel-imap-command.[ch], remove
        camel-imap-stream.[ch] for now.

                                   CAMEL
     

			A generic Messaging Library


                                   ----
				

Introduction:
-------------

Camel will be a generic messaging library. It will evntually support 
the standard messaging system for receiving and sending messages.
It aims at being the backend for the future gnome-mailer system.

The name "camel" stands for ... nothing. Open area of development there.
You know, that "bazaar" thing. Maybe could we organize a big contest on
gnome-list to find the best explanation :)

Camel draws heavily from JavaMail and the IMAP4rev1 RFC. People
wanting to hack on a provider should read the JavaMail API
specification, but CMC and MAPI are of interest too.

Please, before starting anything, wait for me to finish the abstract
classes. Some parts are not definitive yet.

 
Organization:
-------------

The library is roughly a set of abstract classes, some kind of generic
"interfaces" (idl interfaces, not java interfaces ).

Particular implementations are called providers.

Here are the basic objects:

* CamelService : an abstract class representing an access to a server.
Handles the connection and authentication to any server.

* CamelStore (CamelService): A hierarchy of folders on a server.

* CamelFolder : An object containing messages. A folder is always
associated with a store.

* CamelMessage : An object contained in folders. Is defined by a set
of attributes and a content. (Attributes include: the date it was
received, the sender address, .....)

* CamelTransport (CamelService): A way to send messages.
