IMAP daemon module?

[Michael Mol]

So, I want to implement an RSS reader in the form of an IMAP daemon.
Effectively, I want to poll RSS feeds, dump articles into a database,
serve up the database content to IMAP clients.

I want to take things like feed titles and use them as the names of imap
folders.

Now, I can do all these things fairly easily, except one...where do I
find an imap daemon module?

I'm not aware of any *server side* implementation of the IMAP protocol
other than that in twisted [and be prepared for typically terrible
twisted documentation].

On the other hand the basic of the IMAP protocol is pretty
straight-forward, client libraries implementations could be 'turned
around' pretty easily - you probably don't really need the *full* IMAP
suite for this application. One nice part about IMAP is that the server
reports a capabilities string - so it informs the clients that
extensions [possibly none] that it supports.
