Certainly. Possibly I came off as a bit harsh, however, I'd like to keep from duplicating efforts as much as possible. I was going to start work on doing a better IMAP UID implementation, but my work would probably touch pop3.c as well as imap.c, since I was considering moving a lot of the Copy-and-Paste code I did into functions and simplifying the code a bit in pop3.c and imap.c. However, doing this based on the number of oustanding patches that affect pop3.c will mean waiting to start that work or duplicating it later, thus my enthusiasm for getting some sort of code base to start work on sooner rather than later.


Some of those patches should not be merged, actually.
I was attempting to evaluate which I would merge last night. I merged in Matthias' 2003-5-24 patch last night which removes LAST and peek_capable into 6.2.5 (although I see today that he has a new patch out). I was evaluating some of the rest of the patches, but some of them I'm not exactly sure why they were doing what they were doing (I guess I need to go look at the mail list archives for more context).


I'm thinking of spending the next few days making sure people are on-board, and signing up with a community development site by this time next week.
Sounds good to me.  I'll hold off on my work until that time.
