Is there an R package for fetching email from an IMAP mail server?

I found the CRAN package sendmailR (for sending mail via SMTP) and the CRAN
package Imap (but that is actually Interactive Mapping, nothing to do with
email).  I also found a blog posting (
http://www.r-bloggers.com/sna-visualising-an-email-box-with-r/) which
attacks this via Python.  I was hoping for a more direct approach.

In particular, what I'd like to do is download all the emails from my gmail
account with given tags to do a certain analysis.

Thanks,
