I do see how it's put into the imap_client->common.master_data_prefix there,
but it's not clear to me how to get it back *out* in the imap mail client.
The only place I see that data actually used is in
/login-common/sasl-server.c.

For a concrete example, I'd like to pass an additional string/char * of state
information from the imap-login code to imap mail client code.  I think, based
on the above, that you suggest putting it into the imap_client->common struct,
which I've done, so that struct is then passed to client_auth_begin(), and
presumably goes to the master process.  But where does that information/data
get passed to the imap mail client?  For example, if I wanted to access it in
/imap/cmd-fetch.c : cmd_fetch(), cmd->client appears to be a different
structure?

Thanks,
