Nearly every popular programming language has an LMTP/POP/IMAP implementation, most of them suck in many different ways.

Sorry to come in late, but as a curl lover I'd like to know what is wrong with their implementation of pop3 and imap (project homepage curl.haxx.se).
Thanks, David

Well, most of the time it quickly turns out these are just partial addons, with so basic bugs, like #1456 was. There is a reason why postfix, dovecot and others have so many man-hours in them. BTW, this is about a server implementation...
