Cannot use FakeServer

[joelmoss]

I am trying to use the test FakeServer, but cannot as the test directory is not in the require path of the gem.

Am I missing something, or is the fake server not actually available to use from outside the gem itself?

Thanks for the interest! It isn't currently released as part of the gem because its API is very unstable. I expect changes to it will break test suites, maybe in big ways. So, the best approach for now is probably to just copy the files. 🫤

I would like to eventually release it with the rest of net-imap (or in a separate gem)... I use it for one of my own apps! But that won't happen before v0.6.0.

Anyway, I know it's a hassle to work with it when it isn't packaged into a gem, but PRs to improve the FakeServer are welcome. And now that I know at least one other person is interested, that does bump up the priority of solidifying it's API somewhat.
