Loading

imap-next is a thin sans I/O abstraction over IMAP's distinct protocol flows. These are literal handling, AUTHENTICATE, and IDLE.

The way these protocol flows were defined in IMAP couples networking, parsing, and business logic. imap-next untangles them, providing a minimal interface allowing sending and receiving coherent messages. It's a thin layer paving the ground for higher-level client or server implementations. And it's sans I/O enabling the integration in any existing I/O runtime.

Lower-level Libraries

imap-next uses imap-codec internally for parsing and serialization, and re-exposes imap-types.

Higher-level Libraries

  • imap-proxy is an IMAP proxy that gracefully forwards unsolicited responses, abstracts over literals, and Debug-prints messages.
  • imap-client is a methods-based client library with a client.capability(), client.login(), ... interface.

Usage

use std::error::Error;
use imap_next::{
    client::{Client, Event, Options},
    imap_types::{
        command::{Command, CommandBody},
        core::Tag,
    },
    stream::Stream,
};
use tokio::net::TcpStream;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let mut stream = Stream::insecure(TcpStream::connect("127.0.0.1:1143").await?);
    let mut client = Client::new(Options::default());

    loop {
        match stream.next(&mut client).await? {
            event => {
                println!("{event:?}");

                if matches!(event, Event::GreetingReceived { .. }) {
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    let handle = client.enqueue_command(Command::new("A1", CommandBody::login("Al¹cE", "pa²²w0rd")?)?);

    loop {
        match stream.next(&mut client).await? {
            event => println!("{event:?}"),
        }
    }
}
