I have been looking for a while how to do this. The difficulty is to
find a free C or C++ library to handle imap which is a much more
complex protocol than POP. 

For the moment I haven't found the right solution. 

With POP, basically, you download a file, with IMAP you have to create
a whole tree in which the copies of the mails will be placed, manage
the separators . or / etc. manage the directories cur .Sent .Draft and
the movements of the mails moved from a folder to another.  

It's quite complex, the RFC are numerous. It is not a trivial module to
create.
