camel runs in evolution process but its an independent library. It
doesn't depend of Gnome either.

That is using camel for evolution, see if you want to have a look, it
has nothing specific to camel-imap

IMAP implementation is in camel/providers/IMAP

  camel/providers/IMAP4 is another implementation. (This is just
experimental). It has implementation of multiple namespaces as well.
