Adding custom headings to connect to exoteric IMAP servers

Registered by Welington R. Braga

It's possible to connect to Yahoo Mail's IMAP server just adding the command '. ID ("GUID" "1")' before '. login' command when the IMAP session is started. I checked if it works by a 'openssl s_client' session and it's OK. So, this feature (this simple header) would be added like a plugin to connect to Yahoo servers, or even in the list of type of connections.

For you try:
echo -ne '. ID ("GUID" "1")
'|openssl s_client -connect imap.next.mail.yahoo.com:993 -ign_eof

After this you'll be able to send next commands like:
. login <email address hidden> YOURPASSWORD
. list "" "*"
etc
