An SMTP/IMAP package for threebot

[rkhamis]

Create an email package based on smtp/imap under /threebotpackages/threebot/email

story

As a 3bot owner I want to be able to

• add an email account and sync it
• create/send emails
• attach files in my email
• receive emails
• search emails

I also expect to display and save emails through the 3botApp so that my emails will be stored on my 3bot but still accessible from my 3bot app

As it is stored in bcdb we would also need models to be stored

Part	Layer	Protocol or Format
Server	Syncer	IMAP Server
Server	Email	SMTP

Here we ONLY focus on the server side as the front side will be done by the jimber guys as they are developing the 3bot app
