Papero

This repository holds some golang cli utilities to interact with IMAP servers. Currently the plans include two such programs:

• papero: a stateless cli tool to grab and/or alter content from the server
• paperod: a daemon in charge of keeping in sync the server with local maildirs

Roadmap

common parts
