Can you tell me what problem do you see? Ah, now I remember we had this discussion a year or so ago. My comment indeed doesn't make much sense, because your package uses Net_IMAP that uses Net_Socket while ours uses Net_Socket directly. Your package trades code reuse (Net_IMAP) with bloat (and thus probably performance hit) because users of your package would need to install, load and parse the huge Net_IMAP class while they only need a very small functionality from it. Regarding Etienne's question on dev@lists.horde.org, this package is probably not necessary if you have a recent imap extension and c-client. > Quoting PEPr <pear-sys@php.net>: > >> >> Jan Schneider (http://pear.php.net/user/yunosh) has commented on the >> proposal >> for Networking::Net_Cyrus. >> >> Comment: >> >> Do you see a chance to merge it with Net_Cyrus from Horde, letting the user >> to select the "backend" being either Net_Socket or Net_IMAP?
