Hello,

Is there some test suites out there to exercise various aspect of the protocol?

I found Timo Sirainen's imaptest [1], which is very helpful.

Courrier also sports a handy test suite [2].

Is there anything else along the same lines? Namely, sample requests with their expected responses?

Thanks in advance.

I found some references to something called "ProtoVer Sample IMAP testsuite":

Unfortunately, the URL is 404:

http://www.gleg.net/downloads/p/PROTOVER_SAMPLE_IMAP.tgz

Would someone have a copy of that test suite?

Thanks in advance.

It says it's only for non-authenticated state. And it was announced in
bugtraq list. So it's probably just a bunch of tests that try to break
the server. Like:

 * Try that {4294967295} and {2147483647} literals won't cause buffer
overflows (this bug was in many IMAP servers and clients)
 * Try various sized usernames and passwords
 * Try different kinds of characters in usernames and passwords, such as
<'> <"> <\> <tab> etc.
 * Try various sized command tags, names and other parameters

I guess such an automated tester would be nice. Also would be nice to
have a tester that generates "mails from hell" and sees how long server
takes to process them.
