Do not read in custom maildir flags, or we would try to sync them over
the wire. The next step will be to merge flag writes with existing
custom flags, so we don't lose information.
The long term goal will be to attempt to sync flags to the other side,
of course.

Rather than always parsing the filename, we only need to do so if the flags
have actually changed, otherwise we can keep the filename.

Previously, assigning a new UID to a mapped IMAP or Maildir repository
was done by loading the "local" item, saving it under a new UID and
deleting the old one. This involved lots of disk activity for nothing
more than an effective file rename in Maildirs, and lots of network
usage in the MappedUID cases.
We do this on every upload from a local to a remote item, so that can
potentially be quite expensive. This patch lets backends that support it
(Maildir, MappedUID) efficiently rename the file rather than having to
read the mail content, write it out as a new file and delete the old
file. This speeds up uploads from Maildir and the MappedUID server.

Create a helper function that retrieves the UID, folder MD5, and Flags from
a message filename.
We need these items when we simply want to rename (=new UID) a Maildir
message file later. The new function can give us these components.
Rework, so we cache the calculation of the folder's md5 value once, it
never changes and we call it a lot.

If someone had a custom :2,a flag, adding a new flag would lead to the
invalid maildir filename ...a:2,... due to regex deficiencies not coping
with this. Fix this so we alway produce valid maildir names.
Note that custom flags are still problematic: as the syncing to the
remote IMAP server will fail, the next sync will assume that they have
been removed from the remote IMAP side and they will be removed from the
local Maildir then. We will need to think about how to handle this. At
least, with this patch we won't lose standard flags and won't produce
invalid maildir names.

The regex for catching Maildir message flags was
self.infosep + '.*2,([A-Z]+)' (infosep being ':').
The .* is bogus, as there is nothing between the : and the 2, per
maildir name specification, so remove that unneeded piece.

The Message UID is already the key to self.messagelist, so we have that
information. It is redundant to save the UID again as

open() and os.open() lead to different file permissions by default, and
while we have not changed the os.open that had been used, some code

We passed in the accountname to all derivatives of BaseFolder, such as
IMAPFolder(...,repository,...,accountname), although it is perfectly
possible to get the accountname from the Repository(). So remove this
unneeded parameter. Each backend had to define getaccountname() (although
the function is hardly used and most accessed .accountname directly).
On the other hand BaseFolder was using getaccountname but it never defined
the function. So make the sane thing, remove all definitions from backends
and define accountname() once in Basefolder. It was made a property and not
just a (public) attribute, so it will show up in our developer
documentation as public API.

As all Folders share these parameters, we can safely handle them in

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.

MaildirFolder.messagelist[*]['filename'] was storing the absolute file
paths for all stored emails. While this is convenient, it wastes much
space, as the folder prefix is always the same and it is known to the
MaildirFolder. Just 40 chars in a folder with 100k mails waste >4MB of
space. Adapt the few locations where we need the full path to construct
it dynamically.

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.

As encfs does not support hard linking, the rename of the temporary
message file fails.
This is the only occurrence of hard linking in offlineimap and can be
fixed by using an atomic `os.rename` instead of `os.link`+`os.unlink`.
I have been using the attached patch for more than 1.5 years and have
never again had any problems with offlineimap on encfs.

Subject: race condition in Maildir writing
The offlineimap Maildir code checks for file existence and then
opens a file. That's open to a race condition. It's better to open
the file and fail if it already exists. The following patch does
this. It catches OSError 17 (file exists) and re-raises all others.
I'll leave it up to you to decide whether this is appropriate.

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.

I have tested this and Dovecot no longer beats offlineimap
to the punch. (-:
I achieved that by keeping the renames in tmp/ until it finally does
one last rename in new/ or cur/.
fsync the Maildir file, its final directory when writing a new message.
fsync the localstatus file and its final directory when writing the
local status cache.
This should reduce duplication in the event of hardware trouble.

see thread at http://lists.complete.org/offlineimap@complete.org/2007/03/threads.html.gz
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.
