[Catalyst] Wrrite your own Model-class

Dear List-members,

Having made already a few Catalyst web-sites for our office and our
clients, I now want to embark on writing a Catalyst application for myself!
As I run my own IMAP-mail server, I thought of writing a web-based
front-end so I can look at the mails on my IMAP-server from anywhere in the
world.

Unfortunately there is (yet) no Catalyst::Model::IMAP available, so I
considered --most audaciously-- to start writing such a model myself. I had
a look at various models (such as DBIC) but could not easily re-engineer
the rules I must follow to write such a model-class.

I did find the "Writing plug-ins" tutorial and wonder whether a "Model is
just a kind of "Plugin" with another name. If not, is there somewhere a
handy guide to start writing Models? I do agree to keep a log of my
wanderings on the path of writing a Model and make it available once the
Catalyst::Model::IMAP is finished.
