We would be happy to do that.

Actually, I had a look at the Net::IMAP::Simple and Net::IMAP::Simple::SSL 
modules yesterday. If AuthIMAP used them, some features would be lost, such 
as Debug and Timeout, but I note that Mail::IMAPClient has a feature that 
allows the socket to be replaced with, say, an SSL socket, so that may be an 
alternative way to go.

Cheers.
