+This is s.carstens@gmx.de release of KDE 2.0 tdeioslave
+for the IMAP protocol.
+
+It supports LOGIN, AUTHENTICATE LOGIN, AUTHENTICATE ANONYMOUS and
+AUTHENTICATE CRAM-MD5.
+It supports the rfc2192 URL naming convention.
+
+- UIDVALIDITY check is conditional
+- put will check if the mailbox exists and create it
+ or will append the data to that mailbox
+ (no append after create)
+ use edit->new->textfile from konqueror
+- move will try to guess the correct destination
+ as konqueror appends the source mailbox name to
+ the destination
+- del will currently delete empty directories,
+ mark messages for deletion.
+ If deleting a directory konqueror does the following:
+ - list the box
+ - take the box url + file name and try to delete it
+ - delete the box
+ As the konqueror created urls are invalid we ignore them
+ at the moment.
+- relative URL's are not supported because
+ konqueror will not handle them
+- there are 2 additional section keywords
+ ENVELOPE will do a FETCH ENVELOPE
+ STRUCTURE will do a FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE
+ normal behaviour is FETCH BODY.PEEK[section]
+
+- the mime types delivered are not really consistent
+ with the returned data
+ - it will return inode/directory on list entries
+ which contain inferiors
+ - it will return message/digest on selectable mailboxes
+ with file type S_IFDIR
+ - type message/rfc822-imap on selected messages
+ and type S_IFREG
+
+In Konqueror set the mimetype message/rfc822 to use
+the inline viewer.
+
+Try it: imap://user@host/
+ imap://user;AUTH=*@host/
+ imap://user;AUTH=LOGIN@host/
+ imap://user;AUTH=CRAM-MD5@host/
