Previously, we would spawn child threads for account synchronization
even if we had single-threading enabled. This prevented us from catching
the true location of exceptions, for example. Now, in single-threaded
mode, we perform the account synchronization truely in the main thread
which will ease our debugging.

Earlier we would ignore *ALL* Exceptions that could occur during the
fsyncing of our LocalStatus database. Ignoring all Exceptions is not the
right thing here though. A recent commit improved the situation by
raising at least KeyboardInterrupt Exceptions, but that is still not
optimal.
os.fsync() is available on Unix, and Windows starting in python
2.2.3. so it should always work. If it doesn't, something is wrong.
It has been suggested to only catch EnvironmentError (ie SystemError and
OSError) here, but even those should be thrown. Something *is* wrong if
this fails and we should not ignore it.

Previously we did not catch KeyboardInterrupts explicitly as all of the
code was executed in forked child threads which would never receive
Ctrl-c exceptions. With the upcoming single threaded modus, this code
can be run in the main thread however, so we need to take care of
KeyboardInterrupts explicitly.
This was done wherever we would catch *ALL* exceptions universally and
print out an error message.

The ui.detector class was not really needed and leads to the illusion
that we provide GUI plugins. For the sake of code maintainability we
don't :-).
Rather than having GUI names equivalent to the classes they are in
(which leads to weird names like TTY.TTYUI), this patch allows to give
each GUI an arbitrary string name. GUI names remain still unchanged in
this patch, the default UI when none was configured is TTY.TTYUI.

Move central constant definitions into __init__.py. This does away

things like __VERSION__ are usually defined.

Previously, we did not check at all the authenticy and validity of
the SSL server we connected to. This is bad as it allows
man-in-the-middle attacks etc. This patch remedies the situation
somewhat.
If we specify a sslcacertfile= setting in the Repository section,
validate the server cert (on python>=2.6 or abort with python<=2.5).
As before, no certificate check is performed without that option.
In the future, the hostname check should be made optional and also
a mutt-lick "accept this certificate forever" thing should be
implemented.

Move the command line option handling from the more manual "getopts"
module to the full fledged "OptionParser". It has the advantage of
e.g. automatically creating the Help text that is shown with the
"-h/--help" option rather than having to hardcode the text and
format the line breaking manually.
Also, do away with the version check when invoking OfflineImap so we
do not have to change the version number in three places when bumping
it.
Rename startup() to run() which sounds more in line what other modules
call their run functions (e.g. Thread.run()).

FYI: not sure if you all saw it or changed it, but there were three
places I always changed for each new release:
offlineimap.py
bin/offlineimap
offlineimap/version.py
in particular, the value in version.py must match the value in the
offlineimap(.py) file that someone uses to start the thing up.

the cProfile/profile modules are great for performance debugging. The
pure-python profile module has much more overhead though and the
cProfile module is recommended if it exists. This changes to import to
first try the cProfile module and then fall back to the profile
module. The cProfile/profiles modules are API compatible for all that
its worth...
If that does not exist we continue to complain as before.

Rather than calling a function in a module, invoke offlineimap by
calling an OfflineImap object.
This removes code lying outside of objects; I prefer to keep code
within an object and provides us with a nicer Object encapsulation.
It will also ease the testing of Object functionality in unittests
when they are introduced.
Previously we would import and start Offlineimap like this:
from offlineimap import init
init.startup('6.2.0')
now we do:
from offlineimap import OfflineImap
offlineimap = OfflineImap()
offlineimap.startup('6.2.0')

Rather than poll our exitthread Queue in a non-blocking fashion and
always sleep for 1 second inbetween, simply call it in a blocking
fashion which will return immediately when a thread has exited. This
is somewhat faster as we don't do unnecessary sleeps after a thread
exited.
Do note that we need to specify some timeout value here (the 60 chosen
is pretty arbitary, but what the value exactly is, is not that
important, it could be any positive value) in order to make the
Queue.get() call work with SIGINT (cf
http://bugs.python.org/issue1360).

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
