Ah. Well if you switch to IMAP, you invalidate quite a bit of Celeste
proper. Most of Celeste's code involves its mail database.
You *can* scavenge several utilities, such as MailMessage and
SMTPSocket. But the user interface, not to mention the IMAP protocol
itself, are going to have to be implemented anew.
