Re: [Imap-protocol] If Crispin were creating IMAP today how would it be different?

Actually, I did not get this far. I could not configure one of the
better email servers currently available. It is easier to write one
from the ground up.

My performance observations are based on experience with production
IMAP servers and on writing actual SMTP & IMAP server code compliant
with the current protocols.

Yes, this code may be inefficient, can be optimized.

Yet this seems obvious: regardless of how quickly a server can do a
task, not doing this task (parsing, conversion and altering bytes in
any way) saves time.

Could we agree on this as an axiom?
