What I'm looking for is a good reference, besides the RFC, on IMAP. Anything out there? Electronic or dead-tree is fine. (A book of Dovecot would be neat too.)

I wrote this a while ago: http://imapwiki.org/ClientImplementation

One thing that would be nice, that pretty much no webmail does, is to keep a stateful connection open all the time (or at least some of the time) instead of creating tons of short-lived connections that ask the same stuff over and over again. With a stateful connection you could basically run IDLE and wait for changes there instead of asking all the time "is there new mail?" "is there new mail now?" "what about now?".
