Sends an AUTHENTICATE command to authenticate the client. The auth_type parameter is a string that represents the authentication mechanism to be used. Currently Net::IMAP supports the authentication mechanisms:
LOGIN:: login using cleartext user and password.
CRAM-MD5:: login with cleartext user and encrypted password
(see [RFC-2195] for a full description). This
mechanism requires that the server have the user's
password stored in clear-text password.
For both of these mechanisms, there should be two args: username and (cleartext) password. A server may not support one or the other of these mechanisms; check capability() for a capability of the form “AUTH=LOGIN” or “AUTH=CRAM-MD5”.
Authentication is done using the appropriate authenticator object: see @@authenticators for more information on plugging in your own authenticator.
For example:
imap.authenticate('LOGIN', user, password)
A Net::IMAP::NoResponseError is raised if authentication fails.
Sends a UNSUBSCRIBE command to remove the specified mailbox name from the server’s set of “active” or “subscribed” mailboxes.
A Net::IMAP::NoResponseError is raised if mailbox cannot be unsubscribed from; for instance, because the client is not currently subscribed to it.
Sends a EXPUNGE command to permanently remove from the currently selected mailbox all messages that have the Deleted flag set.
