Module imap_codec::core

Core Data Types

This module exposes IMAPs “core data types” (or “string types”). It is loosely based on the IMAP standard. Some additional types are defined and some might be missing.

“IMAP4rev1 uses textual commands and responses. Data in IMAP4rev1 can be in one of several forms: atom, number, string, parenthesized list, or NIL. Note that a particular data item may take more than one form; for example, a data item defined as using “astring” syntax may be either an atom or a string.“ (RFC 3501)
