🏗️ Crates Overview

This repository contains the following two independent crates. Click the links below for detailed installation instructions and usage examples for each.

1. imap_session (Core IMAP Client)

The fundamental building block for interacting with an IMAP server.

• Purpose: Handles all aspects of establishing a single, secure IMAP session: TCP connection, TLS negotiation, and user authentication (login).
• Best For: Short-lived tasks, simple scripts, or applications where connection reuse is not critical.
• Documentation: View imap_session README

2. deadpool_imap (Connection Pool)

A production-grade solution for managing concurrent connections.

• Purpose: Provides a high-performance, asynchronous connection pool using the deadpool crate. It intelligently manages connections, performing recycling and health checks to ensure reliability.
• Best For: Server applications, web APIs, or microservices that require high concurrency and frequent, low-latency access to the IMAP server.
• Documentation: View deadpool_imap README
