The biggest change here is that imapobj.untagged_responses is no
longer a dictionary, but a list. To access it, I use the semi-private
_get_untagged_response method.
* 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

imaplibutil.new_mesg.

savemessage_getnewheader was an undocmented, cryptic and overengineered
function. It generates a new unique value that can be used as a mail
header to be inserted. For this it used LOTS of randomness sources: hash
of the mail content, hash of the folder name, hash of the repository
name, the current time, a random() value, and the offlineimap version string.
All we need is something random. So reduce this to hash of content
appended by a random integer. Sufficient and somewhat faster to calculate.
Rename the function to actually describe accurately what it does or
would you have guessed that savemessage_getnewheader() did nothing more
than returning ('X-OfflineIMAP', <randomstring> )? Rename to
generate_randomheader() to make it clearer what this is all about.

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.

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 71a76d9a61.

Function IMAPFolder.processmessagesflags is able to manage the servers
which return the UID and the servers which do not return it, but is
not able to deal with the mixed behavior shown above.
The problem is that the fragment of function
IMAPFolder.processmessagesflags that handles the responses with UID
attribute uses variable flags to store the list of flags of the
message in the IMAP format ("flags = attributehashFLAGS?"), while the
fragment that handles the responses without UID expects variable
"flags" to contain the list of modified flags passed to the function
in Maildir format ("self.messagelist[uid]flags?.append(flag)").
As a consequence, the wrong list of flags is used for the messages
without UID, leading to the addition of "strange" flags to the Maildir
messages:
Syncing messages IMAP[INBOX] -> Maildir[.]
Adding flags to 4 messages on Maildir[.]
Adding flags e to 4 messages on Maildir[.]
Adding flags d to 4 messages on Maildir[.]
Adding flags ) to 4 messages on Maildir[.]

Adding flags t to 4 messages on LocalStatus[.]
Adding flags \ to 4 messages on LocalStatus[.]
Adding flags D to 4 messages on LocalStatus[.]
Deleting flags T to 4 messages on LocalStatus[.]
Fix: use a different variable to store IMAP flags when managing
messages corresponding to responses with UID attribute, e.g.:

Unfortunately I have to fetch some of my mail from an Exchange server
(Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 IMAP4rev1 server version 6.5.7638.1)
and I can confirm that the analysis of the problem is correct, and the
patch given here fixes the problem.
Looking at the code of the processmessagesflags() method I think it
generally is a bug that the "flags" parameter is reused as a local
variable, since the final "for uid in needupdate:" loop needs the
original value of "flags". This only worked by accident.
I'm attaching a unidiff version of the patch which applies cleanly
against Debian unstable's offlineimap 5.99.4.
This patch maneuvers around python imaplib's mysterious read-only detection
algorithm and correctly calls the UI's deletetoreadonly(), when trying to
delete/expunge in a mailbox without having the necessary rights.

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.

patch from Mike Gerber
Two times today I have found my offlineimap to have died with this same
situation. It appears as if certain types of messages (both spam in my
situation), cause offlineimap to choke. When it does it cannot proceed.
This means that when I run offlineimap, it pulls in messages from some
folders, then it hits the folder with the bad message and dies, leaving
undownloaded mail on the server. The only fix to this problem is to find
the problem message on the server and remove it by hand. This isn't such
a huge deal for me, since I run the server, but other people have to
come to me to ask me to delete these messages, and until I do they
cannot download their email.
I have captured the output by running script during one of these
incidents, this has been attached. Additionally, I have also attach the
problematic message.
The patch seems to work for me, might need some Python wizard and better
testing, though.
fixes deb#396443
r[1] is a list. In case it contains more than one 'str' they are concatenated
using '. '. In processmessagesflags the join is tested, for savemessagesflags I
assume that it is also needed.
The attached patch adds syncing the INTERNALDATE of IMAP folders with
the mtime of messages in maildir folders.
I want this to happen, because I'm running a dovecot over the maildirs
synced by offlineimap, and that uses the mtime as the INTERNALDATE.
When using mutt to view messages I generally sort based on the received
date, which for IMAP folders is the INTERNALDATE.
Since this is the first real coding I've done in Python the patch may
need to be cleaned up some, but it's working pretty well for me. I've
added new messages to each side, and the received date has been
preserved going both ways.
