Daniel Jacobowitz patches
fixes deb#433732
Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2007 13:54:56 -0400
From: Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@false.org>
To: offlineimap@complete.org
Subject: Assorted patches
Here's the result of a lazy Sunday hacking on offlineimap. Sorry for
not breaking this into multiple patches. They're mostly logically
independent so just ask if that would make a difference.
First, a new -q (quick) option. The quick option means to only update
folders that seem to have had significant changes. For Maildir, any
change to any message UID or flags is significant, because checking
the flags doesn't add a significant cost. For IMAP, only a change to
the total number of messages or a change in the UID of the most recent
message is significant. This should catch everything except for
flags changes.
The difference in bandwidth is astonishing: a quick sync takes 80K
instead of 5.3MB, and 28 seconds instead of 90.
There's a configuration variable that lets you say every tenth sync
should update flags, but let all the intervening ones be lighter.
Second, a fix to the UID validity problems many people have been
reporting with Courier. As discussed in Debian bug #433732, I changed
the UID validity check to use SELECT unless the server complains that
the folder is read-only. This avoids the Courier bug (see the Debian
log for more details). This won't fix existing validity errors, you
need to remove the local status and validity files by hand and resync.
Third, some speedups in Maildir checking. It's still pretty slow
due to a combination of poor performance in os.listdir (never reads
more than 4K of directory entries at a time) and some semaphore that
leads to lots of futex wake operations, but at least this saves
20% or so of the CPU time running offlineimap on a single folder:
Time with quick refresh and md5 in loop: 4.75s user 0.46s system 12%
cpu 41.751 total
Time with quick refresh and md5 out of loop: 4.38s user 0.50s system
14% cpu 34.799 total
Time using string compare to check folder: 4.11s user 0.47s system 13%
cpu 34.788 total
And fourth, some display fixes for Curses.Blinkenlights. I made
warnings more visible, made the new quick sync message cyan, and
made all not explicitly colored messages grey. That last one was
really bugging me. Any time OfflineIMAP printed a warning in
this UI, it had even odds of coming out black on black!
Anyway, I hope these are useful. I'm happy to revise them if you see
a problem.

Sets OfflineIMAP into profile mode. The program

2002-07-23 03:48:15 +02:00
|
|
|
will create profiledir (it must not already exist).

|

As it runs, Python profiling information about each

This option is present for debugging and optimiza-

2002-07-23 03:48:15 +02:00

|
tion only, and should NOT be used unless you have a
|
2002-08-08 22:21:56 +02:00
|
|
|
specific reason to do so. It will significantly
|
|
|
|
slow program performance, may reduce reliability,
|
|
|
|
and can generate huge amounts of data. You must
|
2002-07-23 03:48:15 +02:00
|
|
|
use the -1 option when you use -P.

Lets you specify a particular account or set of

|
|
|
accounts to sync without having to edit the config
|
2002-07-12 09:51:52 +02:00

|
file. You might use this to exclude certain
|
2002-08-08 22:21:56 +02:00
|
|
|
accounts, or to sync some accounts that you nor-
|
2002-07-12 09:51:52 +02:00

mally prefer not to.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-c configfile
|
2002-08-08 22:21:56 +02:00
|

Specifies a configuration file to use in lieu of

2002-07-12 09:51:52 +02:00
|
|
|
the default, ~/.offlineimaprc.

2002-08-08 22:21:56 +02:00
|
|
|
-d debugtype[,debugtype...]
|
|
|
|
Enables debugging for OfflineIMAP. This is useful
|
|
|
|
if you are trying to track down a malfunction or
|
|
|
|
figure out what is going on under the hood. I sug-
|
|
|
|
gest that you use this with -1 in order to make the
|
|
|
|
results more sensible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-d now requires one or more debugtypes, separated
|
|
|
|
by commas. These define what exactly will be
|
|
|
|
debugged, and so far include two options: imap and
|
|
|
|
maildir. The imap option will enable IMAP protocol
|
|
|
|
stream and parsing debugging. Note that the output
|
|
|
|
may contain passwords, so take care to remove that
|
|
|
|
from the debugging output before sending it to any-
|
|
|
|
one else. The maildir option will enable debugging
|
|
|
|
for certain Maildir operations.

|
|
2008-01-03 04:15:11 +01:00
|
|
|
-f foldername[,foldername...]
|
|
|
|
Only sync the specified folders. The "foldername"s
|
|
|
|
are the *untranslated* foldernames. This
|
|
|
|
command-line option overrides any "folderfilter"
|
|
|
|
and "folderincludes" options in the configuration
|
|
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
|
2008-01-03 04:13:04 +01:00
|
|
|
-k [section:]option=value
|
|
|
|
Override configuration file option. If"section" is
|
|
|
|
omitted, it defaults to "general". Any underscores
|
|
|
|
"_" in the section name are replaced with spaces:
|
|
|
|
for instance, to override option "autorefresh" in
|
|
|
|
the "[Account Personal]" section in the config file
|
|
|
|
one would use "-k Account_Personal:autorefresh=30".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-o Run only once, ignoring any autorefresh setting in
|
2002-07-23 03:48:15 +02:00
|
|
|
the config file.
