Difference between S22.Imap and other IMAP libs? #132

Hi,

I was wondering what the difference between these projects were (aenetmail, MailKit, S22.Imap, MailSystem.NET, etc) and whether maybe it would be a good idea for all of these projects to work together instead of reinventing the wheel over and over again?

I'm trying to make a decision on which one to use. At first glance, it would appear that MailKit might be the way to go (it has 1012 stars) while aenetmail has 269, S22.Imap has 117 and MailSystem.NET has 17, but I've learned the hard way that more popularity doesn't mean "best".

I plan to post this same question on each of these projects with the hope of getting thoughts of the both the developers and the users (have users used the other libraries? how did they compare? why did you choose the one you settled on?)

Any feedback would be hugely helpful in saving me a lot of time and effort!
