I don't know how much work it would be, but you could look at 
re-implementing using Mail::IMAPTalk. It's the IMAP client I built for use 
at FastMail.FM after finding problems with the other ones available at the 
time (about 4-5 years ago now). It definitely allows capturing a literal 
response into a file handle, and sending a file handle as a literal response 
to avoid storing everything in memory.
