Based on RFC 3501 and original imaplib module.
This is a version of imaplib that uses threads to allow full use of the IMAP4 concurrency features, and to de-couple a user of imaplib from i/o lags, except where explicitly allowed.
This is a fork of Piers Lauder's imaplib2 library hosted here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/imaplib2/
I created this fork because I wanted to submit the library to PyPi. An attempt will be made to keep it up-to-date with the original.
