By the way: I thought I should report that the problem turned out to
be unrelated to IMAP.

There was a resolv.conf issue which slowed down certain network
operations somehow. The person who reported the problem also found
the solution and fixed it.

I must say, I am very impressed with the imap.rb code.

I have looked at the imap.rb reference material and at the imap rfc.

But I am wondering, is there any tutorial material for this? To me,
the API is a little hard to understand.
