Experimental (attempted) FUSE filesystem to represent IMAP accounts

imuse is an experimental IMAP file-system for FUSE. The general idea behind the project is to present what equates to "networked data" as any other kind of "networked data" that we're used to (CIFS, AFS, AFP, SSHFS, FTP, etc), simply as a set of folders and files. The overall goal of the imuse project is to allow file-system-like traversal of an IMAP mailbox as if it were "just another filesystem" with emails being representated as simple files on the filesystem. imuse uses the University of Washington IMAP library (commonly referred to as "c-client") which drives applications like (Al)pine.
