I'd posted it, but (RANT) Charles rejected it and my post on the arrogant assertion he knew best what suited his users and the lame excuse he was loathe because he didn't know if it worked (where he usually rubs RFCS in, and this is RFC 3501 compliant) -- only to have the same question asked on his list less than four weeks later. OK, SOEP. (END RANT)

Rant aside, the patch is against getmail 4.20 and I've tested it against Exchange 2003, various Cyrus IMAP and Dovecot IMAP versions, against the IMAP servers that GMX.net and web.de use, and it uses the same IMAP4r1 commands that fetchmail has been using for years.

I think the patch should also be forwarded upstream for inclusion in Debian so they can stuff unstable/testing with it, and not discussed further since it's too trivial and what's been written about and around it is orders of magnitude more than code already.
