 [API CHANGE] select_folder now returns a dictionary with the full
 SELECT command response instead of just the message count (#24).

+sessions. Useful for debugging and exploration. Uses IPython if
+installed.

 The code is well documented. See the docstrings for more usage information.

+interact.py
+-----------
+This script connects an IMAPClient instance using the command line
+args given and starts an interactive session. This is useful for
+exploring the IMAPClient API and testing things out, avoiding the
+steps required to set up an IMAPClient instance.
+
+The IPython shell is used if it is installed. Otherwise the
+code.interact() function from the standard library is used.
