class IMAP4:

	"""IMAP4 client class.

	Instantiate with: IMAP4([host[, port]])

		host - host's name (default: localhost);
		port - port number (default: standard IMAP4 port).

	All IMAP4rev1 commands are supported by methods of the same
	name (in lower-case).

	All arguments to commands are converted to strings, except for
	AUTHENTICATE, and the last argument to APPEND which is passed as
	an IMAP4 literal.  If necessary (the string contains any
	non-printing characters or white-space and isn't enclosed with
	either parentheses or double quotes) each string is quoted.
	However, the 'password' argument to the LOGIN command is always
	quoted.  If you want to avoid having an argument string quoted
	(eg: the 'flags' argument to STORE) then enclose the string in
	parentheses (eg: "(\Deleted)").

	Each command returns a tuple: (type, [data, ...]) where 'type'
	is usually 'OK' or 'NO', and 'data' is either the text from the
	tagged response, or untagged results from command.

	Errors raise the exception class <instance>.error("<reason>").
	IMAP4 server errors raise <instance>.abort("<reason>"),
	which is a sub-class of 'error'. Mailbox status changes
	from READ-WRITE to READ-ONLY raise the exception class
	<instance>.readonly("<reason>"), which is a sub-class of 'abort'.

	"error" exceptions imply a program error.
	"abort" exceptions imply the connection should be reset, and
		the command re-tried.
	"readonly" exceptions imply the command should be re-tried.

	Note: to use this module, you must read the RFCs pertaining
	to the IMAP4 protocol, as the semantics of the arguments to
	each IMAP4 command are left to the invoker, not to mention
	the results.
