Move the verifycert() function to the imapserver.py file, it is now a

makes sense to also define it in our imapserver function...
(this also lets us easily make use of the verifycert function in the

We do this by passing in the IMAPRepository() instance rather than a

we can retrieve all repository parameters ourselves, rather than passing
a dozen paramters into IMAPServer. Also, this enables us to pass the
repository() object into our WrappedIMAP4() instance, so that it can

The biggest change here is that imapobj.untagged_responses is no

* offlineimap/folder/IMAP.py (IMAPFolder.quickchanged,
IMAPFolder.cachemessagelist): imaplib2 now explicitly removes its
EXISTS response on select(), so instead we use the return values from
select() to get the number of messages.
* offlineimap/imapserver.py (UsefulIMAPMixIn.select): imaplib2 now
stores untagged_responses for different mailboxes, which confuses us
because it seems like our mailboxes are "still" in read-only mode when
we just re-opened them. Additionally, we have to return the value
from imaplib2's select() so that the above thing works.
* offlineimap/imapserver.py (UsefulIMAPMixIn._mesg): imaplib2 now
calls _mesg with the name of a thread, so we display this
information in debug output. This requires a corresponding change to
imaplibutil.new_mesg.
* offlineimap/imaplibutil.py: We override IMAP4_SSL.open, whose

There is a clumsy workaround for Darwin that chunks reads into 8kb
blocks to avoid huge memory allocations. First, this fix should not only
be required but on FreeBSD2.6 too (see
http://bugs.python.org/issue3531). Second, decent python versions (I
checked 2.6) already chunk in the SSL case anyway, so there is no need to do
that again. Remove that level of indirection.
http://evanjones.ca/python-memory.html claims that this problem has been
fixed since python 2.5, so we might consider removing the workaround
completely even for the non-SSL case.

Hello John,
i fixed some tiny bugs in offlineimap, mainly just for myself. They are
more dirty fixes than real bugfixes since I'm missing the deeper insight
into the code.
Especially the first one for Curses.py is very dirty and breaks the
scaling of the interface when the terminal size changes, but at least
the terminal is in proper state after exiting offlineimap.
In the order of appearance in the patchfile:
1. 'fixes' terminal breakage on quit of curses interface in python 2.6
to 2.6.5 (fixed since 2.6.6 http://bugs.python.org/issue7567)
2. fixes netrc password authentication
3. fixes user name querying from netrc
The patch is made for git revision 6b1cb5e036
Thanks a lot for the great application!

Dear All,
I have made the attached patch to try and make offlineimap a bit more
stable in challenging situations. It's extremely useful in slow
connection environments - but sometimes if one account had the wrong
password or the connection went down then unfortunately the whole
program would crash.
I have tested this on our connection and tried throwing at it just about
every situation - connection, up down, up, down again, change password,
error whilst copying one message, etc. I have been running this patch
for the last 5 days or so syncing 6 accounts at the moment... It seems
to work and stay alive nicely (even if your connection does not)...
Hope that this can go in for the next release... Please let me know if
anyone notices any problems with this...
Regards,
-Mike

Subject: [PATCH] This patch attempts to introduce a little more error handling - e.g.
if one account has an error because of a changed password or something
that should not affect the other accounts.
Specifically:
If one sync run has an issue this is in a try-except clause - if it
has an auto refresh period the thread will sleep and try again - this
could be quite useful in the event of the connection going down for a
little while, changed password etc.
If one folder cannot be created an error message will be displayed through
the UI and the program will continue (e.g. permission denied to create a folder)
If one message does not want to copy for whatever resaon an error message
will be displayed through the UI and at least the other messages will
be copied
If one folder run has an exception then the others will still run

* File darwin.patch added
OK, I finally installed an IMAPS server on my iMac, so I could test a
little further. For some reason, fixing the read() method in
imaplibutil.py did not seem to work (it hung on connecting to the
server) - however, modifying the file imapserver.py similarly to the
non-SSL case fixed the crash.
I also reduced the chunk size to 100k instead of 1M, as 1M seemed to
still trigger the memory error in some cases. Ah, and I added a
platform test, so that the patch does essentially nothing on
non-Darwin machines ...
So, still no guarantee, but the attached patch works for me. Any
comments ?
(If noone here screams in horror at my code, I will include the patch
into the Fink package and see what happens there.)

Well it was a bit unclear but there's a patch for offlineimap attached
to Guido's message:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=support-GSSAPI-via-pykerberos.diff;att=1;bug=359213
I've tried it out and it works great! Except that if the Kerberos
layer throws an exception it wouldn't fail over to plain
authentication properly. Attached is a slightly reworked patch that I
tested it in the following situations:
1. python-kerberos uninstalled, with kerberos credentials.
Prompted for password authentication as expected.
2. python-kerberos installed, with kerberos credentials.
Keberos authentication was successful and my mail was fetched
without password prompting. Yeehaw!
3. python-kerberos installed, with no kerberos credentials.
Prompted for password authentication as expected.
I think those are all the interesting situations. So I think this is
ready to go in, with a Suggest on python-kerberos (>=
1.0+mk080218-1).
