Suppose messages A and B were delivered to the remote folder at
"maxage + 1" days ago.
A was downloaded to the local folder "maxage + 1" days ago, but B was only
downloaded "maxage - 1" days ago (contrived scenario to illustrate the two
things that could happen). The behavior was that B gets deleted from the local
folder, but A did not. The expected behavior is that neither is deleted.
Starting where Base.py: __syncmessagesto_delete(self, dstfolder, statusfolder)
is called where:
- self is the remote folder
and
- dstfolder is the local folder.
It defines deletelist to be the list of messages in the status folder
messagelist that aren't in the remote folder messagelist with
not self.uidexists(uid)
A and B are both in the status folder. They're also both *NOT* in the remote
folder messagelist: this list is formed in IMAP.py: cachemessagelist(), which
calls _msgs_to_fetch(), which only asks the IMAP server for messages that are
"< maxage" days old.
Back to Base.py __syncmessagesto_delete(), look at the call
folder.deletemessages(deletelist), where folder is the local folder. This ends
up calling Maildir.py deletemessage() for each message on the deletelist. But we
see that this methods returns (instead of deleting anything) if the message is
in the local folder's messagelist. This messagelist was created by Maildir.py's
cachemessagelist(), which calls _scanfolder(), which tries to exclude messages
based on maxage. So at this point, we *WANT* A and B to be excluded -- then they
will be spared from deletion. This maxage check calls _iswithinmaxage(), and
actually does the date comparison based on the time found at the beginning of
the message's filename. These filenames were originally created in Maildir.py's
new_message_filename(), which calls _gettimeseq() to get the current time (i.e.
the time of retrieval).
Upshot: A's filename has an older timestamp than B's filename. A is excluded
from the local folder messagelist in _scanfolder(), hence spared from deletion
in deletemessage(); B is not excluded, and is deleted.
This patch does not address the timezone issue. As for the IMAP/timezone issue,
a similar issue is discussed in the thunderbird bug tracker here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=886534
In the end, they're solving a different problem, but they agree that
there is really no reliable way of guessing the IMAP server's internal
timezone.

Read proxy option in imapserver, instantiate a class in imaplibutil
using a self-defined keyword and a socket instance, and use this socket
instance to substitute the default socket instance used in imaplib2.

- Suggest that this works well together with email indexing.
- Warn about modifying the labelsheader after a sync.
- In the example replace X-Gmail-Keywords by X-Keywords. I think this is
misleading, since no email client will pick up X-Gmail-Keywords, while
X-Keywords (the default) is recognized by some.
- add paragraph explaining special gmail labels.

Get real tracebacks (at the point that calls Request.abort()
and not from the point that handles collected abort requests)
and pass them to our calling functions to ease debugging
of user problems.

This simplifies logics for the user, especially if he uses both
fingerprint and certificate validation: it is hard to maintain
the compatibility with the prior behaviour and to avoid getting
default CA bundle to be disabled when fingerprint verification
is requested.
See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.general/6695
for discussion about this change.
Default CA bundle is requested via 'sslcertfile = OS-DEFAULT'.
I had also enforced all cases where explicitely-requested CA bundles
are non-existent to be hard errors: when users asks us to use CA
bundle (and, thus, certificate validation), but we can't find one,
we must error out rather than happily continue and downgrade to
no validation.
