Twitter is an online social networking and microblogging service. The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is an Internet standard protocols for e-mail retrieval from a server. This module stores your Twitter home timeline in a folder on an IMAP server.

Why would you do this?

  • Offline access to your Twitter home timeline

  • Use multiple devices and they sync read messages

  • URLs are expanded

  • Images and videos are embedded via oEmbed

To use this application you need to create a Twitter API application on:

https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new

You need to use the examples/oauth_desktop.pl application distributed with Net::Twitter to obtain the OAuth tokens. First replace the consumer tokens with those of your application, then run the application and see oauth_desktop.dat.

Create a twimap.conf (an example is shipped with this distribution) with the IMAP server details and Twitter access details.

... and now you can run the application as in the synopsis.
