# KIMAP #

This library provides a job-based API for interacting with an IMAP4rev1 server.
It manages connections, encryption and parameter quoting and encoding, but
otherwise provides quite a low-level interface to the protocol.  This library
does not implement an IMAP client; it merely makes it easier to do so.

Users should be familiar with
[RFC 3501](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501 "IMAP 4rev1")
as well as
[other related RFCs](https://www.iana.org/assignments/imap4-capabilities)
although the library hides some of the nastier details
like the encoding and quoting of strings.
