How up-to-date is this package? (Just some superficial poking around
didn't lead me any dates.)

Reason I ask is if you poke around the list archive, there has been
some recent activity to fix some things and you might want to be sure
you've got the most recent version.

Also, getting WL installed can be, shall we say, quirky.

I ended up using el-get to install on ubuntu (after trying other
things that didn't work for me). I thought I'd posted the details of
how I did this, but don't see them right off. (Ping me offline if you
want me do dig up the details.)

Or you might try "packages", which I know Erik has been updating
recently. i.e.:

1) in emacs, run "packages-list-packages:
2) load:
  (add-to-list 'package-archives
    '("e6h" . "http://www.e6h.org/packages/";))

Or, alternatively, replace the above steps with something like: 
    (setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/";)
                         ("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/";)
                         ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/";)))

3) run "packages-list-packages" again
4) type "i" next to desired package (i.e. WL), then "x"

Well, packages comes installed by default with Emacs 24, for earlier
versions you may have to go find it and install it.

Can't help you with your specific IMAP issue, but there have been a
few threads about getting IMAP to work and how to debug in the last
year. Poke around the list archive.
