No problem - As you noticed I've started pushing my changes.

It didn't take too long so not a problem ;-)

That would be great - Are you able to verify the patch I posted doesn't break anything first of all?

I will send you the change to test 801 (although it's fairly simple) and the capability patch as well.

Thank you.

I know these things are always subjective but I'm not too happy with the order of the functions either - as I find I end up paging around quite a bit to follow the logic.

However I now have it so that smtp, pop3 and imap are a close match to each other but either way I think we should attack that as a separate issue - either as a pre or post functionality patch.

Additionally, are the pingpong changes required for the new functionality or will the new code work without them?

As I'm sure you are aware, we have a feature freeze next week for v7.29 - I have all my patches ready to push and would like to do these before the weekend is over - then, if possible, I would like to try and commit some of your changes but we might be cutting it a bit fine there unfortunately.

In the meantime I will start to review your changes and thank you again for your efforts so far.

Kind Regards

Steve
