Are there any cross-platform (only interested in Windows and OS X) IMAP libraries which I can use from C++? Preferably open source as well.
I am currently using the IMAP library from Chilkat, but this is Windows only.
I've found libEtPan and VMime and just wondered if there were any others I could look at to compare.
Another good choice can be cURL library which is C library but it has C++ bindings - cURLpp.
The best thing is that it is licensed under the MIT license which perfectly fits for the commercial use or a non-opensource projects.
What about VMIME?
It has all my favorite things in a library:
Free, as in free beer
Free, as in free speech (Open Source also)
Regularly updated (very important)
Decent (though not great) documentation
Portable
Other alternatives are libetpan (a C language library) and Mailcore (a C++ wrapper for libetpan)
Although a bit dated since it's development has stopped being open-source, you can check the UW-IMAP toolkit. However, its primary author continues development of the toolkit under the name Panda-IMAP and makes it available to anyone who wishes to donate for the development of the project.

Suggest me any open source based platform/IDE/framework/toolkit for developing intelligent agent. I don't have any background in this area, would like to use a tool or any tutorial in building intelligent agent.
If you don't have any background at all, I suggest you start with something simple.
I had quite a good experience with dmangame, a simple Python engine where you can script the behaviour of agents.
The good point is that the installation is very simple, you know where to code your Python scripts for AI, there is a nice API for it. And you've got a nice graphical interface to see directly what you code.
Edit : By the way, look at this similar question
Weka is probably the most comprehensive open source AI toolkit. It's positioned as a tool for "data mining" but don't let that put you of - it's a general toolset for machine learning which is exactly what you need if you want to build an intelligent agent.
You can use any IDE you like with it (it's Java based so that gives you a range of great open source IDEs such as Eclipse or Netbeans, but you can also call the Weka libraries from other languages if you like).
It also has some of its own tools build it (for visualisation and exploring data sets etc.)

I think it would be valuable to have a list of all the programming languages that have a significant open source component (i.e. I can do a significant amount of work in it without using any non-free components) and that are cross platform (i.e. that will run on all the major platforms: Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux/BSD), along with information about how they are useful. That way, one could pick out the ideal language for a particular project if a choice is available.
Therefore, it would be great if you could list all the languages you know, include at least a bit about the merit/usefulness of each, and maybe some interesting points (like a good IDE, important software libraries, etc).
Links are good too (link to the developer's site or to a major resource site).
This would be a good complement to the list of programming books (https://stackoverflow.com/q/194812/289380).
EDIT: Oh, and no flame wars :).
EDIT 2: I have set up a Wiki to hold this list and a list of the programming books linked to above: http://programref.wikia.com/
Python: http://www.python.org
Fast to develop in, huge standard library, lots of support, great interpreter, great scripting language.
Perl: Do I really need to say more?
Ruby: http://www.ruby-lang.org
Another great scripting language, very powerful, OO to the core but still pragmatic. Very popular right now, with lots of addon libraries.
Lua: http://www.lua.org
A small,fast scripting language designed to be embedded in other applications. Small standard library with a reasonable set of basic stuff and additional libraries / C extensions to do other stuff. Very popular in games - the World of Warcraft client UI is built and extended in Lua.
Language: Java (OpenJDK) - http://openjdk.java.net/
IDE: Eclipse, Netbeans
C++: The quinessential OOP programming language. Massive number of libraries to do just about whatever you could imagine. Some IDE's include Code::Blocks, Dev-C++, Netbeans, and Eclipse.

I'm looking for recommendations on an open source toolset for WYSIWYG HTML/CSS design. What you have you found to be valuable in your work?
I briefly used Bluefish while in college, which has similar features to Dreamweaver.
Wikipedia has a good list here.
Windows
Web Applications - Microsoft Visual
Web Developer Express 2010 (Not Open Source, but powerful for large applications)
Web-Sites and Microsites - Intype +
FileZilla (Not Open Source, but faster alternatives)
Notepad++ is a quick alternative too,
that has various plugins (like FTP, [Open Source])
Mac
TextMate & Coda (I hear these are cool and sleak)
Dreamweaver equivalent for Linux
asked a similar question and my answer is still the same, aptana is cross platform. Also please note the concept that WSYWIG is not generally what you get, you may also want to look into jsfiddle.net as it is a great tool for testing concepts in a functional environment.

I always used to use Dreamweaver for web work, but now I work in Emacs, with Filezilla for non-text file uploads. What I miss from Dreamweaver is the easy synchronisation feature in its file manager. Is there any simple opensource software that would fill this gap for me?
I prefer WinSCP as an FTP/SFTP/SCP client, and it's one of the few clients I've seen that supports synchonised browsing similar to Dreamweaver. SmartFTP is another one that does this, but it's not free.
See http://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_navigate#synchronize_browsing
Aptana does that and it's opensource; however, sftp support is not free. I would say it is the one of the better alternatives to webdesign. Give it a try, I've been hooked
Another plus feature is the integration of jquery, python, php, and svn. The pro version includes sftp support and cloud hosting, and i think it's around $100

Is there a free (preferably public-domain or BSD-like license, but GPL will do) implementation of a multi-layer perceptron anywhere on the net?
I have textbook examples but the licenses are too restrictive, and although I can just about follow the math in the Wikipedia articles I'm not confident enough of getting it right and it's hard to test.
I've done a quick google search and found some free (as in beer) binary-only versions. I'm hoping to find an MLP which is part of a larger open-source project.
FANN (Fast Artifical Neural Network Library) is a great general-purpose neural-network library written in C but has bindings for just about any language you might want (C++, .NET, Python, Mathematica among others). Even better, it's open-source and licensed under the LGPL, so I'd imagine that would be fine for you.
Neuron.NET is another good alternative if you're using .NET (also open-source), though it's licensed under the GPL.
Hope that helps.
WEKA includes a multi-layer perceptron implementation. I haven't examined the source code myself but its GPL I believe.
OpenCV has a Feedforward neural network implementation.
Have a look at http://neuralensemble.org/trac/PyNN! It is a unified layer to a lot of different free simulators such as BRIAN, NEST, NEURON, etc.
