+IMAPClient is an easy-to-use, Pythonic and complete IMAP client
+library.
+
+Features:
+
+- Arguments and return values are natural Python types.
+- IMAP server responses are fully parsed and readily usable.
+- IMAP unique message IDs (UIDs) are handled transparently. There is
+ no need to call different methods to use UIDs.
+- Escaping for internationalised mailbox names is transparently
+ handled. Unicode mailbox names may be passed as input wherever a
+ folder name is accepted.
+- Time zones are transparently handled including when the server and
+ client are in different zones.
+- Convenience methods are provided for commonly used functionality.
+- Exceptions are raised when errors occur.
+
+Python versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3 are officially supported.
