Ah, now I remember we had this discussion a year or so ago. My comment
indeed doesn't make much sense, because your package uses Net_IMAP that
uses Net_Socket while ours uses Net_Socket directly.

Your package trades code reuse (Net_IMAP) with bloat (and thus probably
performance hit) because users of your package would need to install, load
and parse the huge Net_IMAP class while they only need a very small
functionality from it.

Regarding Etienne's question on dev at lists.horde.org, this package is
probably not necessary if you have a recent imap extension and c-client.
