All these tasks have been done, plus we now have a new (also faster and hopefully more robust) IMAP provider. Because of dependencies on API changes at the inetlib level we will have to release inetlib-1.2 beforehand or at least at the same time.

I would really appreciate if you could find some time to do some high level testing of the new provider, simply connecting to as many mailservers as you have access to, retrieving and fetching messages, setting flags, getting and setting headers, getting MIME attachments from messages, etc.

Stuff to do before release:
1. Update gnu.* class headers to GPL 3.
2. Localize any error messages in gnu.* classes using ResourceBundle.
3. Put everything needed for execution into one jar - currently dependencies on external jars are a nightmare and killing us. This includes:
  a. Everything in activation.jar
  b. Only the relevant parts of inetlib.jar: imap, smtp, pop3, nntp, util.

The API side of this is done. We need to work out if there are any TODOs in the providers that we can implement for this release, then push the release.

We need to update the existing classes and interfaces and add any new ones to match the 1.5.0 version of the API. If this leads to any backward incompatibility with the actual providers then this needs to be raised and the providers updated (not necessarily as part of this task). As well as adding new methods etc, good quality javadoc API documentation needs to be provided.
