Yes - nice to know it can do that also.  For me I need to have a 
way of managing large amounts of email (I have about 2mm 
messages) including for natural language processing etc.  
Dovecot/sieve + pipe facility is ok, but not perfect for 
everything.  I guess it should work fine for regular ARM etc - 
perhaps not an Arduino!

Yes - don't think I will have time to do the async aspect in near 
future, in any case.

Yes x2.

Understand.  Have a few other things on the boil, and also 
constrained in how much time I can spend for various reasons.  So 
don't plan or expect on it being finished soon, although I hope 
it might be.

Understand, and thanks for the engagement.
