Oh, I see. Yes, to the extent that you can mimic what's in
Turnsole::Client, it will be possible. But that class is a pretty thin
wrapper around the Heliotrope protocol, so mimicking it will feel a lot
like writing a Heliotrope compatibility layer.

I'm not personally interested in doing this, since Heliotrope is the One
True Mailstore as far as I'm concerned, but I'll try to be helpful if
you attempt it.
