.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBimap4\fR library package provides the client side of the
\fIInternet Message Access Protocol\fR (IMAP) using standard
sockets or secure connection via TLS/SSL\&.
The package is fully implemented in Tcl\&.
.PP
This document describes the procedures and explains their usage\&.
.SH PROCEDURES
This package defines the following public procedures:
.TP
\fB::imap4::open\fR \fIhostname\fR ?\fIport\fR?
.sp
Open a new IMAP connection and initalize the handler,
the imap communication channel (handler) is returned\&.
.sp
\fIhostname\fR - mail server
.sp
\fIport\fR - connection port, defaults to 143
.sp
The namespace variable \fB::imap4::use_ssl\fR
can be used to establish to a secure connection
via TSL/SSL if set to true\&. In this case default connection port
defaults to 993\&.
.sp
\fINote:\fR
For connecting via SSL the Tcl module \fItls\fR must be already
loaded otherwise an error is raised\&.
.CS
package require tls ; # must be loaded for TLS/SSL
set ::imap4::use_ssl 1 ; # request a secure connection
set chan [::imap4::open $server] ; # default port is now 993
.CE
.TP
\fB::imap4::starttls\fR \fIchan\fR
Use this when tasked with connecting to an unsecure port which must be
changed to a secure port prior to user login\&. This feature is known
as \fISTARTTLS\fR\&.
.TP
\fB::imap4::login\fR \fIchan\fR \fIuser\fR \fIpass\fR
.sp
Login using the IMAP LOGIN command, 0 is returned on successful login\&.
.sp
\fIchan\fR - imap channel
.sp
\fIuser\fR - username
.sp
\fIpass\fR - password
.TP
\fB::imap4::folders\fR \fIchan\fR ?\fI-inline\fR? ?\fImboxref\fR? ?\fImboxname\fR?
.sp
Get list of matching folders, 0 is returned on success\&.
.sp
Wildcards '*' as '%' are allowed for \fImboxref\fR and \fImboxname\fR,
command \fB::imap4::folderinfo\fR can be used to retrieve folder information\&.
.sp
\fIchan\fR - imap channel
.sp
\fImboxref\fR - mailbox reference, defaults to ""
.sp
\fImboxname\fR - mailbox name, defaults to "*"
.sp
If \fB-inline\fR is specified a compact folderlist is
returned instead of the result code\&. All flags are converted to
lowercase and leading special characters are removed\&.
.CS
{{Arc08 noselect} {Arc08/Private {noinferiors unmarked}} {INBOX noinferiors}}
.CE
.TP
\fB::imap4::select\fR \fIchan\fR ?\fImailbox\fR?
.sp
Select a mailbox, 0 is returned on success\&.
.sp
\fIchan\fR - imap channel
.sp
\fImailbox\fR - Path of the mailbox, defaults to \fIINBOX\fR
.sp
Prior to examine/select an open mailbox must be closed - see: \fB::imap4::close\fR\&.
.TP
\fB::imap4::examine\fR \fIchan\fR ?\fImailbox\fR?
.sp
"Examines" a mailbox, read-only equivalent of \fB::imap4::select\fR\&.
.sp
\fIchan\fR - imap channel
.sp
\fImailbox\fR - mailbox name or path to mailbox,
defaults to \fIINBOX\fR
.sp
Prior to examine/select an open mailbox must be closed - see: \fB::imap4::close\fR\&.
.TP
\fB::imap4::fetch\fR \fIchan\fR \fIrange\fR ?\fI-inline\fR? ?\fIattr \&.\&.\&.\fR?
.sp
Fetch attributes from messages\&.
.sp
The attributes are fetched and stored in the internal state
which can be retrieved with command \fB::imap4::msginfo\fR, 0 is returned
on success\&.
If \fB-inline\fR is specified, alle records are returned as list
in order as defined in the \fIattr\fR argument\&.
.sp
\fIchan\fR - imap channel
.sp
\fIrange\fR - message index in format \fIFROM\fR:\fITO\fR
.sp
\fIattr\fR - imap attributes to fetch
.sp
\fINote:\fR
If \fIFROM\fR is omitted, the 1st message is assumed,
if \fITO\fR is ommitted the last message is assumed\&.
All message index ranges are 1-based\&.
.TP
\fB::imap4::noop\fR \fIchan\fR
Send NOOP command to server\&. May get information as untagged data\&.
.sp
\fIchan\fR - imap channel
.TP
\fB::imap4::check\fR \fIchan\fR
Send CHECK command to server\&. Flush to disk\&.
.sp

.SH "TLS SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS"
.PP
This package uses the \fBTLS\fR package to handle the
security for \fBhttps\fR urls and other socket connections\&.
.PP
Policy decisions like the set of protocols to support and what
ciphers to use are not the responsibility of \fBTLS\fR, nor of
this package itself however\&.
Such decisions are the responsibility of whichever application is
using the package, and are likely influenced by the set of servers
the application will talk to as well\&.
.PP
For example, in light of the recent
\fIPOODLE attack\fR [http://googleonlinesecurity\&.blogspot\&.co\&.uk/2014/10/this-poodle-bites-exploiting-ssl-30\&.html] discovered by Google many servers will disable support
for the SSLv3 protocol\&.
To handle this change the applications using \fBTLS\fR must be
patched, and not this package, nor \fBTLS\fR itself\&.
Such a patch may be as simple as generally activating \fBtls1\fR
support, as shown in the example below\&.
.CS
package require tls
tls::init -tls1 1 ;# forcibly activate support for the TLS1 protocol
\&.\&.\&. your own application code \&.\&.\&.

Note further that \fIattachments\fR are strongly preferred over
