To Mark,

Your work on IMAP protocol has definitely influenced the last 10 years of my life, ever since I first started working on Dovecot. I've enjoyed most of that time and learned a lot. I remember initially having disagreements with you on several parts of the IMAP protocol design, but after a few years you convinced me that I was simply wrong in all of the important cases.

I'll do my best to keep the spirit of IMAP protocol design alive in whatever forms email access protocols may evolve to in future. Sorry I came a bit too late to the scene and never had a chance to meet you in person.
