Comment #8 by Benoît MINISINI:

@Tony: it would be great if you can develop an ImapClient class.

Note that a Gambas component can have a part written in C and a part written inc Gambas.

So you can extend gb.net.curl with an _ImapClient "hidden" class written in C with all the libcurl stuff you need, maybe by copying the way HttpClient or FtpClient work, and then write the final ImapClient class in Gambas, making it inherit _ImapClient, if this scheme fits.

Another path is following the way gb.net.pop3 works. It does all the protocol stuff at the socket level, everything being written in Gambas. And then the SSL/TLS support is implemented by calling the "openssl" executable (see the source code for the details).

Just tell me if you have any question.
