Mail-IMAPClient (2.2.9)

I have a couple of moderately busy Postfix servers that spew a large amount of admin messages concerning incoming traffic that is bounced or rejected for various reasons. There is too much to handle manually, so I wrote a program using Mail::IMAPClient to go through the folders where these messages are stored, and delete all the simple cases that I don't care about (and writing a one-line summary about the transaction to a log file for later perusal).

This helps reduce the size of the IMAP folders and what is left are the potentially tricky messages that may require more careful investigation.

Mail::IMAPClient handled the aspects of connecting to the server and bringing each message (header and body) to my program in a straight-forward manner. The documentation was easy to understand, and all the functionality I needed to use was "just there".

I don't know what the other IMAP modules on CPAN are worth, but this one is quite probably all you need.

Works fine but on larger mailboxes very slow :-( I'm thinking about forking to diffrent child processes to handle this.

Mail-IMAPClient (2.2.8)

I haved used this module for everything from migrating our 65k user base from a VMS mail server to developing a custom web interface to the local IMAP servers. I would reccomend this to anyone doing any kind of IMAP related work.
