Yes. Andrew is doing a good job co-ordinating efforts.

Go through the archive. I post irregularly to explain what I'm doing
and where I'm trying to get to.

Breifly here is the status:
- basic arhcitecture done
- low level connection encapsultation is more or less done 
- IMAPMessage implementation started
- skeleton IMAPFolder, IMAPStore started

What I need to work on is a data-handler that fits in with the way
I'm doing things.

It will go into the oje/sourceforge CVS. It isn't there yet because
Andrew and I had a misunderstanding about package names.

I'll commit it to the oje.mail.imap namespace by the end of the
week.

Absolutely. It's Andrew's project though so he gets to call.

Also, unlike many in the Classpath project I don't feel that we have
to put it in the Classpath project. I would feel more comfortable with
code like this outside of Classpath. I just want to persuade Andrew to
move the project to GNU (and obviously persuade the FSF that they want
OJE).
