Are the ANTLR grammars for this available somewhere?
They don't seem to be in this repo.

Hi there, thanks for the interest in the repo :)

We've actually moved away from using ANTLR-generated parsers in this project. ANTLR was really helpful in enabling us to build correct IMAP, Address and Date parsers as quickly as possible, but we've since moved to hand-written parsers for performance reasons.

The last commit that used ANTLR parsers was 9f98ae47a031ad64466e6a098b851d040d82f161; you'll find the grammars in internal/parser/grammer.

Thanks for the explanation and the pointer to the original ANTLR grammars! I was just curious since ANTLR was mentioned in the release blogpost.
