A long time ago, I wrote an IMAP server for my day job and when the 
project was cancelled, I kept a copy of the source code.  I thought it 
had some really cool ideas in it, and I couldn't bear to just see it 
deleted.  Later on, I received permission to do with it what I will and 
I've worked on it off and on since then.

At the moment, it's not really ready for use.  For example, STARTTLS 
isn't implemented, and there's no locks for mbox format (and it 
implements the wrong mbox format, besides.)  Also, I pretty much just 
punted on the Unicode support.  There isn't enough time and it's been 
just a hobby for more than a decade.

Anyway, it's up on github, if anyone is interested.

For those struggling, I think it's this one:

That is correct.

It's based on this Internet server library that I created called clotho.

Since clotho does the socket manipulation, the bulk of the work of 
supporting STARTTLS goes in there, and I just added that over my winter 
break, so adding it to the imapd is mostly a matter of adding the 
appropriate call in the right place.
