No, at least I do not work on this.

Depends on what you are planning to do, e.g. whether it is sync or  
async. For a sync client a starting point could be the simple pop  
client in src/pop. For an async client look at the FTP client (but be  
warned, asnyc code is really an order of magnitude more difficult to  
develop).

Generally, you should try to reuse the existing concepts when possible.

Ocamlnet allows it to override DNS resolution globally. Please use the  
functions in Uq_resolver, and this is done right.

I'm planning to develop some SASL functionality, which is probably very  
useful for IMAP. The existing functions are not very accessible  
(actually, there is code for DIGEST-MD5 hidden in the http client, and  
there is SCRAM-SHA1 code, but with an interface suited for GSSAPI and  
not SASL). Also, some bindings to Cyrus would be good. I don't know  
when I've time to do this
