Just wondering if someone could let me know how well Ruby's IMAP library
works. I ask because I have to do an IMAP migration and I don't like the
tools out there right now. I figured that this might also be a good
opportunity to learn Ruby if I were to implement the utility in Ruby.
However, I did a search on the Web and newsgroups and didn't come up with
much.

Also, where's the best place to read about IMAP support? Doing a search for
IMAP on the Ruby Web page didn't yield very helpful results, but I did find
http://www.ruby-lang.org/~shugo/net-imap/net-imap-0.1.5/doc/manual.html
which seems to be the most up-to-date doc on IMAP?

I also saw some references to IMAP being merged w/ Ruby 1.6, but I didn't
see docs for it in the copy of Ruby that I downloaded (Win32 based on
1.6.5). Is there a reason for this? I did notice that there's an imap.rb in
the distrib, so I guess all is okay, but I was wondering ...

I also saw that there are (were?) some problems with IMAP on Win32 (one of
the results that came up with a search for "imap" on the Web site mentioned
it and that the fix was needing a more recent version). Are these still
present?

Is there some sort of POD-like thing for Ruby? As you can tell, I'm pretty
much brand spanking new to Ruby.  I don't suppose their's a tourists' guide
to Ruby? I don't mean the languague, but where to find libraries, what
mailing lists are out there, who to listen to, what gripes are, the best
places to stay for under $50/night, etc.

Thanks!

Jen
