Subject: terminal-based imapd planned?

I'd like to see the imap protocol support evolve into something that would
allow us dial-in'ers to start the stdin/stdout imap server on our terminal
over the remote line, then have our local unix box or PC-Pine utilize the
imap protocol over the phone line, instead of limiting it to a tcp connection
(as the only means of using it). I think such would fly quickly, esp. in the
linux world.

Well, it would be great for anyone in the dialup situation who doesn't have
SLIP or some equivalent.

In the interim, is there a way for a user to attach the imapd to a user-able
port? This would accomplish the same purpose, but for a smaller usership.

If you are running Unix locally, you can use "term" to redirect an IMAP 
connection.  To set an alternate port for IMAP, use the form 
{server:port}folder.
