Hi Matthieu,

Cool!

That should work.

This is problematic. Message subjects are definitely not unique. You
should match up the Message-Id fields instead, if that's at all possible
with IMAP.
If it's not possible, well, IMAP does have a notion of a per-message
ids, but it's fraught with difficulties...

They will mostly be the same, but it's not guaranteed and you will see
some differences.

In my experience, I haven't found any large bugs, just hard-to-debug
issues in the error-handling, and general slowness (though that is
probably attributable to the IMAP protocol itself).
Keep up the good work!
