#
# Client functionality for the IMAP mail protocol.
# See the Net::IMAP class for details and examples of use.
# == IMAP OVERVIEW
#
# An IMAP client connects to a server, and then authenticates
# itself using either #authenticate() or #login(). Having
# authenticated itself, there is a range of commands
# available to it. Most work with mailboxes, which may be
# arranged in an hierarchical namespace, and each of which
# contains zero or more messages. How this is implemented on
# the server is implementation-dependent; on a UNIX server, it
# will frequently be implemented as a files in mailbox format
# within a hierarchy of directories.
#
# To work on the messages within a mailbox, the client must
# first select that mailbox, using either #select() or (for
# read-only access) #examine(). Once the client has successfully
# selected a mailbox, they enter _selected_ state, and that
# mailbox becomes the _current_ mailbox, on which mail-item
# related commands implicitly operate.
#
# Messages have two sorts of identifiers: message sequence
# numbers, and UIDs.
#
# Message sequence numbers number messages within a mail box
# from 1 up to the number of items in the mail box. If new
# message arrives during a session, it receives a sequence
# number equal to the new size of the mail box. If messages
# are expunged from the mailbox, remaining messages have their
# sequence numbers "shuffled down" to fill the gaps.
#
# UIDs, on the other hand, are permanently guaranteed not to
# identify another message within the same mailbox, even if
# the existing message is deleted. UIDs are required to
# be assigned in ascending (but not necessarily sequential)
# order within a mailbox; this means that if a non-IMAP client
# rearranges the order of mailitems within a mailbox, the
# UIDs have to be reassigned. An IMAP client cannot thus
# rearrange message orders.
#
# == EXAMPLES OF USAGE
#
# === List sender and subject of all recent messages in the default mailbox
#
# imap = Net::IMAP.new('mail.example.com')
# imap.authenticate('LOGIN', 'joe_user', 'joes_password')
# imap.examine('INBOX')
# imap.search(["RECENT"]).each do |message_id|
# envelope = imap.fetch(message_id, "ENVELOPE")[0].attr["ENVELOPE"]
# puts "#{envelope.from[0].name}: \t#{envelope.subject}"
# end
#
# === Move all messages from April 2003 from "Mail/sent-mail" to "Mail/sent-apr03"
#
# imap = Net::IMAP.new('mail.example.com')
# imap.authenticate('LOGIN', 'joe_user', 'joes_password')
# imap.select('Mail/sent-mail')
# if not imap.list('Mail/', 'sent-apr03')
# imap.create('Mail/sent-apr03')
# end
# imap.search(["BEFORE", "30-Apr-2003", "SINCE", "1-Apr-2003"]).each do |message_id|
# imap.copy(message_id, "Mail/sent-apr03")
# imap.store(message_id, "+FLAGS", [:Deleted])
# end
# imap.expunge
#
# == THREAD-SAFENESS
#
# Net::IMAP supports concurrent threads. For example,
#
# imap = Net::IMAP.new("imap.foo.net", "imap2")
# imap.authenticate("cram-md5", "bar", "password")
# imap.select("inbox")
# fetch_thread = Thread.start { imap.fetch(1..-1, "UID") }
# search_result = imap.search(["BODY", "hello"])
# fetch_result = fetch_thread.value
# imap.disconnect
#
# This script invokes the FETCH command and the SEARCH command concurrently.
#
# == ERRORS
#
# An IMAP server can send three different types of responses to indicate
# failure:
#
# NO:: the attempted command could not be successfully completed. For
# instance, the username/password used for logging in are incorrect;
# the selected mailbox does not exists; etc.
#
# BAD:: the request from the client does not follow the server's
# understanding of the IMAP protocol. This includes attempting
# commands from the wrong client state; for instance, attempting
# to perform a SEARCH command without having SELECTed a current
# mailbox. It can also signal an internal server
# failure (such as a disk crash) has occurred.
#
# BYE:: the server is saying goodbye. This can be part of a normal
# logout sequence, and can be used as part of a login sequence
# to indicate that the server is (for some reason) unwilling
# to accept our connection. As a response to any other command,
# it indicates either that the server is shutting down, or that
# the server is timing out the client connection due to inactivity.
#
# These three error response are represented by the errors
# Net::IMAP::NoResponseError, Net::IMAP::BadResponseError, and
# Net::IMAP::ByeResponseError, all of which are subclasses of
# Net::IMAP::ResponseError. Essentially, all methods that involve
# sending a request to the server can generate one of these errors.
# Only the most pertinent instances have been documented below.
#
# Because the IMAP class uses Sockets for communication, its methods
# are also susceptible to the various errors that can occur when
# working with sockets. These are generally represented as
# Errno errors. For instance, any method that involves sending a
# request to the server and/or receiving a response from it could
# raise an Errno::EPIPE error if the network connection unexpectedly
# goes down. See the socket(7), ip(7), tcp(7), socket(2), connect(2),
# and associated man pages.
#
# Finally, a Net::IMAP::DataFormatError is thrown if low-level data
# is found to be in an incorrect format (for instance, when converting
# between UTF-8 and UTF-16), and Net::IMAP::ResponseParseError is
# thrown if a server response is non-parseable.
