I'm seriously considering writing an #IMAP server in #rustlang. Someone please stop me.

Implementing imap sucks. 😅

@hp that’s the magic of imap, everyone has built one that is subtly incompatible because the spec is shit. So all you need to do is ask your AI to write you the thousands of different hacks to work with the various broken clients.

@Migueldeicaza It's so fun because an IMAP server has so much state! And async requests.

My favorite feature is the request tagging. Someone should tell me where the person that invented that lives.

So I can send them... A thank you note.
