1c0c19ad86 imaplib2: bump to upstream version 2.28 (rev 8228a0f)
Imaplib2 2.28 can deal with ID sequences, such as 1:*, so we need to
bump upstream in order to make use of these features.

Note that this revision will not run correctly as it requires
adaptations to our code, which happens in the next commit.

306f584c86 Remove custom Gmail/folder/processmessagesflags()
This function was overridden as the IMAP version apparently had been
using imapobj.myrights() at some point in time, which was not
implemented in the Gmail version. However, IMAP is not using myrights()
anymore, and as that is an extension that needs to be advertised in
CAPABILITIES we should not unconditionally use it anyway.

So remove the function that is identical to it's ancestor's
function.

131298c2b1 Remove superfluous class ConfigedIMAPServer
Remove a level of wrapper abstraction that is not needed. Just use
IMAPserver and be done with it.

We do this by passing in the IMAPRepository() instance rather than a
long list of single paramters to the IMAPServer instanciation. This way
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
query, e.g. the SSL fingerprint configuration.

We simply assert()ed that APPENDing a message returned OK, but in some

c293e64119 Fix caching inconsistencies in getselectedfolder()
getselectedfolder was using a cached variable that we were setting in
select(), but sometimes the IMAP4 instance got into the SELECTED state
without explicitely select()ing, it seems, and our variable was unset.

Let us just use the self.mailbox variable that imaplib2 is setting when
select()ing rather than doing our own caching. Also remove the part
where we were setting the cache.

Just access self.state rather than looking up self.state via
self.getstate() every time, it is just an unnecessary layer of
redirection.

416df0fc44 imaputil.imapsplit: Remove overzealous debug statement
In an IMAP run where we did not have to sync anything, I spend nearly a
fulls second in imaputil.debug() without even having debug output
enabled. imapsplit is mainly called by flagsplit() which will also do
debug output, so we get TONS of nearly duplicate debug output in the log
which makes it really hard to analyze.

Cut down the debug logging in imapsplit, we should be debug logging
stuff at a slightly higher level than here anyway.

This one-line change sped up my folder sync (without having to sync
anything) by 0.5 seconds even when debugging is disabled.

3ce514e92b Simplify MappedIMAPFolder, fixing bugs
Previously, we instanciated an MappedImapFolder, and would cleverly (too
cleverly?) invoke methods on it casting it to an IMAPFolder by calling
methods such as: self._mb.cachemessages(self) where self._MB is the class
IMAPFolder and self and instance of MappedImapFolder. If
e.g. cachemessages() invokes a method uidexists() which exists for
MappedImapFolder, but not directly in IMAPFolder, I am not sure if
Python would at some point attempt to use the method of the wrong class.
Also, this leads to some twisted thinking as our class would in same
cases act as an IMAPFolder and in some cases as an MappedImapFOlder and
it is not always clear if we mean REMOTE UID or LOCAL UID.

This commit simplifies the class, by a)doing away with the complex Mixin
construct and directly inheriting from IMAPFOlder (so we get all the
IMAPFOlder methods that we can inherit). We instantiate self._mb as a
new instance of IMAPFolder which represents the local IMAP using local
UIDs, separating the MappedIMAPFolder construct logically from the
IMAPFolder somewhat.

In the long run, I would like to remove self._mb completely and simply
override any method that needs overriding, but let us take small and
understandable baby steps here.

d8026c5308 Simplify Maildir message saving
Previously we were attempting to save out mails according to
 http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/maildir.html in 4 steps:

1 Create a unique filename
2 Do stat(tmp/<filename>). If it found a file, wait 2 sec and go back to 1.
3 Create and write the message to the tmp/<filename>.
4 Link from tmp/* to new/*

(we did step 2 up to 15 times) But as stated by
http://wiki1.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir (see section 'Issues with
the specification'), this is a pointless approach, e.g. there are race
issues between stating that the filename does not exist and the actual
moving (when it might exist).

So, we can simplify the steps as suggested in the dovecot wiki and
tighten up our safety at the same time.

One improvement that we do is to open the file, guaranteeing that it did
not exist before in an atomic manner, thus our simplified approach is
really more secure than what we had before.

Also, we throw an OfflineImapError at MESSAGE level when the supposedly
unique filename already exists, so that we can skip this message and
still continue with other messages.

b20f5192fb Allow to specify remote hostname even for the Gmail case
Previously we hard-coded the imap server name in the case of Gmail
repositories, but often we need a different host name. So, allow people
to specify the hostname via the regular "remotehosteval" and
"remotehost" settings, and only falling back to imap.gmail.com when
nothing has been specified.

Cache the hostname, so we don't evaluate the whole thing each time we
query the host name.

Make the remotehosteval processing more robust, by catching any
Exceptions that occur, and throw a OfflineImapError, that explains where
exactly the error had occured. You can test this, e.g. by setting
remotehosteval to 1/"n" or some other invalid expression.

1754bf4110 Allow to create the root MailDir directory
We currently do not allow nametrans rules such as
nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX$', '', foldername)

because we crash with a traceback when running:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=499755

The underlying reason is that we cannot create the "top level" root
directory of the Maildir in the function makefolders(), it will bail
out. John Goerzen intentionally prevented offlineimap from creating the
top-level dir, so that a misconfiguration could not arbitrarily create
folders on the file system. I believe that it should be perfectly
possible to automatically create the root dirctory of the maildir. We
still protect against folder creations at arbitrary places in the file
system though.

This patch cleans up makefolders(), adds documentation, allows to
