IMAPClient introduction

Posted on March 08, 2015

I gave a presentation introducting IMAPClient at the monthly Christchurch Python meetup on Thursday. It included a brief introduction to the IMAP protocol, the motivation for creating the IMAPClient package, some examples of how it compares to using imaplib from the standard library, and some discussion of future plans. There also may have been some silly pictures. The talk seemed to be well received. Thanks to everyone who attended.

I'm not sure how useful they'll be without the vocal part but the slides are now available online.

Apart from my talk, a wide range of topics came up including installing and managing multiple versions of Python side-by-side, TLS (SSL) and Python and the suckiness (or not) of JavaScript. As always, lots of fun. There's always a great bunch of people who make it along.
