I ran into this article while researching a Lisp imap library with ssl. It ends up John Foderaro (the author of the linked article) wrote the first verson of Franz's Allegro common lisp, the allegroserve webserver (which we use and enjoy) and Post Office (the program I'm trying to find an ssl extension to). A note on the lisp community: In looking for the imap library, I also found mel-base http://www.cliki.net/mel-base http://www.cliki.net/mel-base and sent an email to their devel list and got an answer from the mel-base author, Jochen Schmidt, within about an hour to use cl+ssl (which we already use with cl-smtp to send email) I sent John Foderaro an email about ssl with Post Office (we'll see if he answers - Post office has a really nice conceptual structure to it), but I will definitely blog eventually about a Lisp library solution using IMAP with ssl, even if I have to make the extension myself. It shouldn't be too hard using cl+ssl.
