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.
Increase the chunk size on Mac from 8kb to 64kb. Even Macs should be
able to take that amount of memory usage nowadays.

When e.g. specifying an invalid 'reference' value for an IMAP server to

a nonsensical and non-intuitive error message (trying to address an

A Repository() returns the correctly instanciated dervivate of a
BaseRepository, depending on the parameters passed to it. The returned
instance is eg an ImapRepository(). This makes the code look nicer,
and we have less functions lying around outside of classes (no more
global LoadRepository() function).
This will also enable us to conveniently hand back a

Currently the Curses code is broken. Importing offlineimap.ui.Curses
will not succeed due to cyclic imports (threadutils imports ui, but ui
wants threadutils.MultiLock). So Curses cannot be chosen.
Incidentally, the only part in the code that uses "MultiLock" is the
Curses UI, to prevent concurrent access from several threads to the
ui-internal thread list and to IO resources such as the
screen. Fortunately for these purposes we don't need a MultiLock, so we
can do away with that implementation completely. A simple RLock that
allows us to have a thread "own" a lock and makes other threads wanting
access to the resource wait until the owning thread is finished.
The MultiLock implementation looked a bit weird, so simplifying code
here is a good thing, it might well be that we fix some "hangs" that
have been reported (and that would only ever occur with the Curses UI).

Change the X-OfflineIMAP header to work around possible Exchange MAPI
table overflow problem described in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.general/1699
(It is unknown whether this problem still exits in current
Exchange versions, but let's assume the worst.)
The X-OfflineIMAP header is neccessary with some IMAP servers to
reliably determine the UID of a new messages uploaded to the server
by using the "UID SEARCH HEADER name string" command. Since this
command compares header name and value it is sufficient to have
a unique header value and a non-unique header name.
Note that a message can have more than one X-OfflineIMAP header if
the message was copied between IMAP folders multiple times.

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!
Best regards,
buergi
After tens of thousands of messages on the IMAP server were deleted it
takes offlineimap extremely long time (several hours of high CPU usage)
to delete them locally. It spends almost all the time modifying
LocalStatus. It processes the messages one by one, rewriting the
folder's status file in LocalStatus after each message.
It is much more efficient to save the status file only once, after
removing all the messages from the messagelist.
Deleting lots of messages now takes seconds instead of hours.

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...

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
Dear All,
Attached is the patch that I have developed to provide maxage and

Subject: [PATCH] Patch to provide maxage and maxsize account options to exclude old/large messages
This is designed to make offlineimap even better for low bandwidth connections.
maxage allows you to specify a number of days and only messages within
that range will be considered by offlineimap for the sync. This can be
useful if you would like to start using offlineimap with a large
existing account and do not want to import large archives of mail.
maxsize allows you to specify the maximum size of a message to consider so
that you can exclude messages with large attachments etc.
In both cases the cachemessagelist function of the folder was modified to ignore
messages that do not meet the criteria. If the criteria are not specified
then the existing code will be executed the same as before. If a message
does not meet the criteria it will be as though this message does not exist
- offlineimap will completely ignore it. It will not have flags updated,
it will not be deleted, it will not be considered at all.
When operating against an IMAP repository a server side search function
is used. This of course requires support for server side search.
I have tested this with either option, no options etc. against IMAP, Maildir
and Gmail. I have run variations of this patch here for the last 3 weeks or
so syncing about 4 accounts normally.
This reverts commit 220db8a77d.

$autorefresh minutes and a ludicrous number of $quick syncs.
