multithreaded use

Hello,

I'm excited to find libetpan!  I have been using c-client, but
discovered its limitations in a multi-threaded environment.  I have
searched and searched for another good C imap library, but for some
reason never ran across this project until now.  It looks like exactly
what I need.

I have read through the documentation and there was one question I
still have that was left unanswered.  Is this library thread safe?  The
c-client library is not, and I started working on making it thread
safe, but it was going to be a massive project.

I am working on a multi-user webmail system (Aeromys --
www.aeromys.org).  Each user will have a unique connection to his or
her mail server.  There will only be one connection per user, but there
will be multiple users in different threads.  Will this library handle
this situation without problems?

Along the same lines, would it be possible for me to remove the
limitation of having only one thread working on a connection at a
time?  By this I mean, could I have a background thread caching mail
for the user while he/she is also browsing?  Both of these threads
would be working on the same connection.

Thanks for your time, I am seriously hoping this library will save me
from having to write my own.  It looks very promising.  Good work, and
thanks.

Luke
