The following is a list of some items that I hope to include in a future
release:
- Support for THREADS
- Better support for converting a message into a structure that is based upon
the message's BODYSTRUCTURE.
- Currently a number of IMAP Client commands are implemented using the
'default method', which is an AUTOLOAD hack. I'd like to reduce that if
possible to a bare minimum.
- I'd like to provide more perlish interfaces, such as the folders method
which returns an array or a pointer to an array of folder names and which
has no direct IMAP counterpart. For example, a 'since' method could be
written to implement the SEARCH SINCE syntax. It would be nice if eventually
you didn't have to reference RFC2060 to use this module. ** Many of these methods
have been implemented since this was first written. **
- I'd like to see this module certified for more OS's and more IMAP servers.
This is (hopefully) just a matter of testing; the code should already be
compatible with the IMAP servers that are out there and with any OS that
allows the IO::Socket module to work. ** A number of platforms have been added
to the list of tested platforms since this was first written. Please contact
David.Kernen@erols.com if you have any to add.
- Support for older/other versions of IMAP. Currently only RFC2060 is
explicitly supported, although thanks to the 'default method' (implemented
via an AUTOLOAD hack) virtually any IMAP command is supported, even
proprietary commands, X- extensions, and so forth. But not necessarily other
authentication mechanisms... :-( (NOTE: the AUTHENTICATE method
partially addresses this issue.)
- Support for other authentication mechanisms, such as NTLM. (NOTE: Ditto
above in re the recent AUTHENTICATE method.)
- Support for piping output from (some?) imap commands directly to a thingy of some sort
(perhaps a coderef, a filehandle, or both).
- Your thingy here!!! Send me your request, and I'll do it in the order of ( $popularity/$difficulty ).
