The code is split into a several libraries and binaries:
src/master - imap-master binary (see docs/design.txt)
src/login - imap-login binary
src/auth - imap-auth binary
src/imap - imap binary
src/lib - Generic library functions
src/lib-mail - RFC-822 and MIME parsering code
src/lib-imap - IMAP-specific functions for parsing, sending, etc.
src/lib-index - Mailbox indexing library, slightly IMAP-specific
src/lib-storage - Mail storage separated into interface and implementation.
imap binary uses only the interface so it's possible to
add support for any kind of mail storage (eg. SQL).
