imap-send: add ability to list the available folders
Various IMAP servers have different ways to name common folders. For example, the folder where all deleted messages are stored is often named "[Gmail]/Trash" on Gmail servers, and "Deleted" on Outlook. Similarly, the Drafts folder is simply named "Drafts" on Outlook, but on Gmail it is named "[Gmail]/Drafts". This commit adds a `--list` command to the `imap-send` tool that lists the available folders on the IMAP server, allowing users to see which folders are available and how they are named. A sample output looks like this when run against a Gmail server: Fetching the list of available folders... * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\HasChildren \Noselect) "/" "[Gmail]" * LIST (\All \HasNoChildren) "/" "[Gmail]/All Mail" * LIST (\Drafts \HasNoChildren) "/" "[Gmail]/Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Important) "/" "[Gmail]/Important" * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Sent) "/" "[Gmail]/Sent Mail" * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Junk) "/" "[Gmail]/Spam" * LIST (\Flagged \HasNoChildren) "/" "[Gmail]/Starred" * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "/" "[Gmail]/Trash" For OpenSSL, this is achived by running the 'IMAP LIST' command and parsing the response. This command is specified in RFC6154: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6154#section-5.1 For libcurl, the example code published in the libcurl documentation is used to implement this functionality: https://curl.se/libcurl/c/imap-list.html Signed-off-by: Aditya Garg <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <[email protected]>
