Module decode

Decoding of messages.

You can use Decoders to parse messages.

IMAP literals make separating the parsing logic from the application logic difficult. When a server recognizes a literal (e.g. {42}\r\n) in a command, it first needs to agree to receive more data by sending a so-called “command continuation request” (+ ...). Without a command continuation request, a client won’t send more data, and the command parser on the server would always return LiteralFound { length: 42, .. }. This makes real-world decoding of IMAP more elaborate.

Have a look at the parse_command example to see how a real-world application could decode IMAP.
