Log Message:
Import of prayer 1.0.5
Prayer is a small and fast HTTP to IMAP gateway written entirely in C.
    * Uses persistent connections to IMAP server and support servers.
    * Target folders remain SELECTed: not a simple-minded proxy.
    * Full caching (including sort/thread cache) for each open folder.
    * Up to five persistent IMAP connections (typically one or two in use):
          o INBOX and one other folder
          o Postponed message folder stream
          o Preferences stream
          o Folder transfer stream
          o Various optimisations/sharing to minimise actual IMAP connections
    * Directory cache: single round trip to IMAP server for directory listing.
    * Works well with UW IMAP server (even using Unix format mail folders).
    * Little discernible load on a Pentium III class system running Linux with
      5,000 logins/day (400 logins/hour, 150 concurrent logins)
    * Uses 10% to 20% of the CPU and 400 MBytes of RAM on a PIII class system
      with 23,000 logins/day (1,700 logins/hour, 850 concurrent logins peak)
    * Aggressive HTTP/1.0 and 1.1 connection caching to reduce SSL overhead.
    * Optional gzip compression of pages tunable by IP address range.
