I haven't checked, but I agree that it's desirable to avoid.

"...and we don't want to link to OpenSSL in that case." Yeah.

The SSL un-typedef'ing was there before, but it's true that I'm defining NO_OPENSSL on the very top so the included headers don't require OpenSSL (and so we don't have to link to it later).

Yeah, but I still need to wrap the non-tunneled operation in #ifdefs in case we don't USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND in which case we fall back to the handwritten IMAP code, don't I?

Maybe I'm not getting you entirely right, but if I don't typedef NO_OPENSSL if USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND is defined, I don't see any way to not link to OpenSSL, even if it's not required. I'm including a slightly modified patch which does that (hoping that I've finally managed to send a usable patch). Sorry it's nothing breathtakingly better than before, even after giving this some thought I didn't arrive at a very elegant new solution... (see below for more on that)

It is ugly, but as much as I'd love to put e.g.

+#ifdef USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND + if (!server.tunnel) { + curl = setup_curl(&server);

etc into imap_open_store (and similarly for imap_store_msg etc), I don't see any easy way to do it; imap_open_store's return type would still be struct imap_store* in the non-tunneling case, and CURL* otherwise.

So the best I can come up with here is merging some of the #ifdef blocks, but that means duplicating the code that applies in both cases. But that isn't any better, is it?

As stated above, I'm not sure how to do entirely without at least those two compile time switches (NO_OPENSSL and USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND).

Sorry, perhaps I missed something obvious; grateful for any hints on how to do it better.
