in accounts.sync() we would holdordropconnections() after each sync. But
depending on the repository configuration that might imply that
offlineimap tries to keep the same connections. But when a sync failed,
e.g. after a user had his computer suspended, it might be that our
connections that we have are worthless. So definitely drop them after a
failed sync.

In order to optimize performance, we fold the 1st and 2nd pass of our
sync strategy into one. They were essentially doing the same thing:
uploading a message to the other side. The only difference was that in
one case we have a negative UID locally, and in the other case, we have
a positive one already.
This saves some time, as we don't have to run through that function on
IMAP servers anyway (they always have positive UIDs), and 2nd were we
stalling further copying until phase 1 was finished. So uploading a
single new message would prevent us from starting to copy existing
regular messages.

For each folder we were making a second IMAP request asking for the
latest UID and compared that with the highest UID in our
statusfolder. This catched the case that 1 mail has been deleted by
someone else and another one has arrived since we checked, so that the
total number of mails appears to not have changed.
We don't capture anymore this case in the quickchanged() case.
It improves my performance from 8 to about 7.5 seconds per check (with lots of
variation) and we would benefit even more in the IMAP<->IMAP case as we do one
additional IMAP lookup per folder on each side then.
Do cleanups on whitespaces while in this file.

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
information in debug output. This requires a corresponding change to
imaplibutil.new_mesg.
* offlineimap/imaplibutil.py: We override IMAP4_SSL.open, whose
default arguments have changed, so update the default arguments. We
also subclass imaplib.IMAP4 in a few different places, which now

This change does not do anything yet with imaplib2, merely makes it
available for future commits.
This file is identical to the one at
http://sydney.edu.au/engineering/it/~piers/python/imaplib2 .
imaplib2, written by the same guy who wrote imaplib, is very different
from imaplib itself. Calling it a modified version from the standard
distribution is misleading. It's more like a complete rewrite. As
such, it's not really possible to summarize what was changed.
The largest thing is that imaplib2 is "threaded". Instead of doing
blocking writes/reads on the socket during/after every command,
imaplib2 forks off threads to read and write to the socket based on
input and output buffers. This opens the door to asynchronous
commands (every command is potentially asynchronous, according to the
docs), and in particular IDLE, which is by definition an asynchronous
command.
The author writes: "imaplib2 can be substituted for imaplib in
existing clients with no changes in the code", but that's pretty
misleading. It might be true for certain simple users of imaplib, but
for us it's completely false. Among other things, how untagged
responses are stored in-memory is different -- instead of a hash
table, it's a list. I'm guessing this is to preserve order of
responses.
I think there are other miscellaneous improvements, like I think
imaplib2 is IPv6 safe out-of-the-box, but I haven't conducted an
extremely thorough examination of the differences :)

which is very repetitive and cluttered. By naming the folder sync
threads just according to the account and not the folder, the output
looks much nicer:
Folder sync [sspaeth.de]:
Syncing INBOX.INBOX201004: IMAP -> Maildir
Syncing INBOX.INBOX201006: IMAP -> Maildir
Syncing INBOX.INBOX201009: IMAP -> Maildir

Folder sync [sspaeth.de]:
Syncing INBOX: IMAP -> Maildir
Syncing INBOX.INBOX201006: IMAP -> Maildir
Folder sync [gmail]:
Syncing INBOX: IMAP -> Maildir

The previous syncing strategy was doing more than we needed to and was a
bit underdocumented. This is an attempt to clean it up.
1) Do away with the previous different code paths depending on
whether there is a LocalStatus file or not (the isnewfolder() test). We
always use the same strategy now, which makes the strategy easier to
understand. This strategy is simply:
a) Sync remote to local folder first
b) Sync local to remote
Where each sync implies a 4 pass strategy which does basically the same
as before (explained below).
2) Don't delete messages on LOCAL which don't exist on REMOTE right at
the beginning anymore. This prevented us e.g. from keeping local
messages rather than redownloading everything once LocalStatus got
corrupted or deleted. This surprised many who put in an existing local
maildir and expected it to be synced to the remote place. Instead, the
local maildir was deleted. This is a data loss that actually occured to
people!
3) No need to separately sync the statusfolder, we update that one
simultanously with the destfolders...
3) Simplified the sync function API by only taking one destdir rather
than a list of destdirs, we never used more anyway. This makes the code
easier to read.
4) Added plenty of code comments while I was going through to make sure
the strategy is easy to understand.
-----------------------------------------
Pass1: Transfer new local messages
Upload msg with negative/no UIDs to dstfolder. dstfolder should
assign that message a new UID. Update statusfolder.
Pass2: Copy existing messages
Copy messages in self, but not statusfolder to dstfolder if not
already in dstfolder. Update statusfolder.
Pass3: Remove deleted messages
Get all UIDS in statusfolder but not self. These are messages
that we have locally deleted. Delete those from dstfolder and
statusfolder.
Pass4: Synchronize flag changes
Compare flags in self with those in statusfolder. If msg has a
valid UID and exists on dstfolder (has not e.g. been deleted
there), sync the flag change to dstfolder and statusfolder.
The user visible implications of this change should be unnoticable
except in one situation:
Blowing away LocalStatus will not require you to redownload ALL of
your mails if you still have the local Maildir. It will simply recreate
LocalStatus.

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.

what the functions are called with and what they return. Those functions
are now very old mature and rather simple, so it suffices to output
their return value rather than cluttering out log with too much
uninteresting garbarge.
This makes log files much more readable.

A Repository() returns the correctly instanciated dervivate of a
BaseRepository, depending on the parameters passed to it. The returned
instance is eg an ImapRepository(). This makes the code look nicer,
and we have less functions lying around outside of classes (no more
global LoadRepository() function).
This will also enable us to conveniently hand back a
LocalStatusRepository based on SQLITE rather than plain text, if the
user configures this to be the experimental and optional backend
(once it exists).

This seems to prevent mysterious hangs with SSL imap servers (especially
gmail?) and does not harm in any case. So let us enable keep-alive
messages for ssl connections.
Our thread pool should be made more robust against closed SSL
connections (which do not always seem to raise Exceptions), and not
deadlock while waiting for resources or data that will never arrive.

AccountSynchronizationMixin was never used on its own and it is a very

complemented the Account() class with a few methods to make Account()

But we use the SyncableAccount class anyway, so merge the former Mixin'

Currently the Curses code is broken. Importing offlineimap.ui.Curses
will not succeed due to cyclic imports (threadutils imports ui, but ui
wants threadutils.MultiLock). So Curses cannot be chosen.
Incidentally, the only part in the code that uses "MultiLock" is the
Curses UI, to prevent concurrent access from several threads to the
ui-internal thread list and to IO resources such as the
screen. Fortunately for these purposes we don't need a MultiLock, so we
can do away with that implementation completely. A simple RLock that
allows us to have a thread "own" a lock and makes other threads wanting
access to the resource wait until the owning thread is finished.
The MultiLock implementation looked a bit weird, so simplifying code
here is a good thing, it might well be that we fix some "hangs" that
have been reported (and that would only ever occur with the Curses UI).

os.fsync() is available on Unix, and Windows starting in python

Also, do away with the version check when invoking OfflineImap so we

This removes code lying outside of objects; I prefer to keep code

It will also ease the testing of Object functionality in unittests
when they are introduced.
Previously we would import and start Offlineimap like this:

is somewhat faster as we don't do unnecessary sleeps after a thread

Do note that we need to specify some timeout value here (the 60 chosen

important, it could be any positive value) in order to make the

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
After tens of thousands of messages on the IMAP server were deleted it
takes offlineimap extremely long time (several hours of high CPU usage)
to delete them locally. It spends almost all the time modifying
LocalStatus. It processes the messages one by one, rewriting the
folder's status file in LocalStatus after each message.
It is much more efficient to save the status file only once, after
removing all the messages from the messagelist.
Deleting lots of messages now takes seconds instead of hours.

Dear All,
I have made the attached patch to try and make offlineimap a bit more
stable in challenging situations. It's extremely useful in slow
connection environments - but sometimes if one account had the wrong
password or the connection went down then unfortunately the whole
program would crash.
I have tested this on our connection and tried throwing at it just about
every situation - connection, up down, up, down again, change password,
error whilst copying one message, etc. I have been running this patch
for the last 5 days or so syncing 6 accounts at the moment... It seems
to work and stay alive nicely (even if your connection does not)...
Hope that this can go in for the next release... Please let me know if
anyone notices any problems with this...

Subject: [PATCH] This patch attempts to introduce a little more error handling - e.g.
if one account has an error because of a changed password or something
that should not affect the other accounts.
Specifically:
If one sync run has an issue this is in a try-except clause - if it
has an auto refresh period the thread will sleep and try again - this
could be quite useful in the event of the connection going down for a
little while, changed password etc.
If one folder cannot be created an error message will be displayed through
the UI and the program will continue (e.g. permission denied to create a folder)
If one message does not want to copy for whatever resaon an error message
will be displayed through the UI and at least the other messages will
be copied
If one folder run has an exception then the others will still run
Dear All,

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 220db8a77d.

The documentation may have been unclear, but quick never worked the
way this patch changes it. My installed offlineimap does one sync
every $autorefresh minutes, and the $quick'th one is a full sync. All
the others are quick. Now it's going to do a full sync every
$autorefresh minutes and a ludicrous number of $quick syncs.

Subject: [PATCH] Respect order of general.accounts config setting.
This makes the order of account synchronisation the same as the order of
the general.accounts setting by using a list instead of a dict, which
was actually pointless as the value of each dict item was never even
looked at.

Subject: kerberos authentication works only the first time
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:28:37 +0100
Package: offlineimap
Version: 5.99.8
Severity: normal
Hi,
I have the "autorefresh" configuration option specified in my
.offlineimaprc, and am now using the kerberos authentication.
However, this kerberos authentication seems to work only the first
time
offlineimap tries to fetch mails. The next time, it fails with this
output:

Subject: [PATCH] Fixing md5 import when hashlib is available
Thanks to habnabit and Rhamphoryncus in #python for help debugging
Here's the way I'd like to use offlineimap on my laptop:
1. Have a regular cron job running infrequently. The cron job
checks to see
if I'm online, plugged in, and that no other copy of offlineimap is
running. If
all of these conditions are satisfied, it runs offlineimap just once:
"offlineimap -o -u Noninteractive.Quiet"
2. When I start up mutt, I do it by calling a wrapper script that
delays
until cron-started copies of offlineimap have finished, then starts
offlineimap
on its regular, stay-alive and keep checking schedule. When I quit
mutt, the
wrapper script tells offlineimap to stop.
This way I get frequent regular checks while I have mutt running, but
I don't
waste my battery/cpu checking frequently for mail when I'm not
interested in
it.
To make this work, though, it'd be nicer if it were easier to tell
offlineimap,
from the outside, things like "terminate cleanly now" and "when you've
finished
synching, then terminate instead of sleeping and synching again."
OK, to put my money where my mouth is, I attach two patches against
offlineimap
6.0.3.
The first, "cleanup.patch", cleans up a few spots that tend to throw
exceptions
for me as offlineimap is exiting from a KeyboardInterrupt.
The second adds signaling capabilities to offlineimap.
* sending a SIGTERM tells offlineimap to terminate immediately but
cleanly,
just as if "q" had been pressed in the GUI interface
* sending a SIGUSR1 tells every account to do a full sync asap: if
it's
sleeping, then wake up and do the sync now. If it's mid-sync, then
re-synch
any folders whose syncing has already been started or completed, and
continue
to synch the other, queued but not-yet-synched folders.
* sending a SIGHUP tells every account to die as soon as it can (but
not
immediately: only after finishing any synch it's now engaged in)
* sending a SIGUSR2 tells every account to do a full sync asap (as
with
SIGUSR1), then die
It's tricky to mix signals with threads, but I think I've done this
correctly.
I've been using it now for a few weeks without any obvious
problems. But I'm passing it
on so that others can review the code and test it out on their
systems. I developed the
patch when I was running Python 2.5.2, but to my knowledge I don't use
any Python 2.5-specific
code. Now I'm using the patch with Python 2.6.
Although I said "without any obvious problems," let me confess that
I'm
seeing offlineimap regularly choke when I do things like this: start
up
my offlineimap-wrapped copy of mutt, wait a while, put the machine to
sleep (not sure if offlineimap is active in the background or idling),
move to a different spot, wake the machine up again and it acquires a
new network, sometimes a wired network instead of wifi. Offlineimap
doesn't like that so much. I don't yet have any reason to think the
problems here come from my patches. But I'm just acknowledging them,
so
that if others are able to use offlineimap without any difficulty in
situations like I described, then maybe the fault is with my patches.
From Jim Pryor
The first, "cleanup.patch", cleans up a few spots that tend to throw
exceptions for me as offlineimap is exiting from a KeyboardInterrupt.
Frankly, the original code doesn't even make much sense, and
moreover it's not forward compatible with python 2.6, and
furthermore:
DeprecationWarning: socket.ssl() is deprecated.
So, this commit is just a temporary fix.

The catch is that we can't wait any longer for the kathread to
terminate. We were waiting for this in some cases. This is probably
not a big deal.

* File darwin.patch added
OK, I finally installed an IMAPS server on my iMac, so I could test a
little further. For some reason, fixing the read() method in
imaplibutil.py did not seem to work (it hung on connecting to the
server) - however, modifying the file imapserver.py similarly to the
non-SSL case fixed the crash.
I also reduced the chunk size to 100k instead of 1M, as 1M seemed to
still trigger the memory error in some cases. Ah, and I added a
platform test, so that the patch does essentially nothing on
non-Darwin machines ...
So, still no guarantee, but the attached patch works for me. Any
comments ?
(If noone here screams in horror at my code, I will include the patch
into the Fink package and see what happens there.)
I created new IMAP folders on my server. In some moment I found offlineimap
crashed. The reason were empty LocalStatus files. From looking at the code I
have no explanation how those files came into existence.

Well it was a bit unclear but there's a patch for offlineimap attached
to Guido's message:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=support-GSSAPI-via-pykerberos.diff;att=1;bug=359213
I've tried it out and it works great! Except that if the Kerberos
layer throws an exception it wouldn't fail over to plain
authentication properly. Attached is a slightly reworked patch that I
tested it in the following situations:
1. python-kerberos uninstalled, with kerberos credentials.
Prompted for password authentication as expected.
2. python-kerberos installed, with kerberos credentials.
Keberos authentication was successful and my mail was fetched
without password prompting. Yeehaw!
3. python-kerberos installed, with no kerberos credentials.
Prompted for password authentication as expected.
I think those are all the interesting situations. So I think this is
ready to go in, with a Suggest on python-kerberos (>=
1.0+mk080218-1).

from pistore in OfflineIMAP #22:
When an IMAP flag update is performed for multiple messages, some IMAP
servers (e.g. Exchange) return the UID attribute only for some of the
FETCH untagged responses, as shown in the following log:
21:19.04 > DCKF8 UID STORE 66050,50613,52164,40043,40055,25874 +FLAGS
(\Deleted)
21:19.36 < * 35 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen \Deleted) UID 25874)

21:19.57 < * 322 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen \Deleted))
21:19.57 < * 560 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen \Deleted))
21:19.57 < * 581 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen \Deleted) UID 52164)
21:19.62 < * 1022 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen \Deleted))
21:19.62 < DCKF8 OK STORE completed.
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 ( to 4 messages on Maildir[.]
Adding flags l to 4 messages on Maildir[.]
Adding flags n to 4 messages on Maildir[.]
Adding flags t to 4 messages on Maildir[.]
Adding flags \ to 4 messages on Maildir[.]
Adding flags D to 4 messages on Maildir[.]
Deleting flags T to 4 messages on Maildir[.]
Adding flags to 4 messages on LocalStatus[.]
Adding flags e to 4 messages on LocalStatus[.]
Adding flags d to 4 messages on LocalStatus[.]
Adding flags ) to 4 messages on LocalStatus[.]
Adding flags ( to 4 messages on LocalStatus[.]
Adding flags l to 4 messages on LocalStatus[.]
Adding flags n to 4 messages on LocalStatus[.]
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.:
*** IMAP.py.orig Wed Aug 22 18:23:17 2007
--- IMAP.py Wed Aug 22 18:22:38 2007

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.
New repository/folder classes to support "real deletion" of messages
thorugh Gmail's IMAP interface: to really delete a message in Gmail,
one has to move it to the Trash folder, rather than EXPUNGE it.
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.
This involves several changes at different places:
- syncfoldersto() takes statusfolder as an argument, and returns the
list of new folders and the list of folders that should be ingnored,
typically those that were deleted. Warns the user about folders that
are present only on one side and are not synced.
- syncfoldersto() is called both ways, and on folder creation
forgetfolders() is used to rebuild the list and take the new creation
into account. Probably not the most efficient, since it involves
talking to the IMAP server again, but it will rarely be used anyway.
- Locally created folders are treated separately in the synchronization,
namely the local messages are uploaded and then the normal sync still
occurs. If the same folder is created on both sides and contains
messages on both sides, a two-way sync occurs.

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.

To: offlineimap@complete.org
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.
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.

Hello,
using offlineimap with the preauthtunnel option to start a remote
IMAP daemon via ssh, a zombie process is left behind during the
autorefresh sleep period if not holding the connection open.
Above behaviour is a result of using os.popen2 to spawn the tunnel
process, which makes it impossible waiting for the child process
to terminate when shutting down the tunnel.
The patch included below fixes the issue by employing the Popen
class from the subprocess module, which seems to be the preferred
way to spawn processes and connect to their pipes in any case (at
least since python version 2.4.4, which fixes a memory leak in the
subprocess module).
Regards,
Peter

From: Mark Brown <broonie@sirena.org.uk>
Currently offlineimap will attempt to connect to the first address
returned by addrinfo() for the remote system and will fail if that fails
even if another result would have worked. This is particularly common
when the remote system supports both IPv4 and IPv6 - a laptop may in
some environments have no routable IPv6 connectivity so if the IPv6
address is returned first the connect will fail even though IPv4 would
have worked.
This is actually a bug in imaplib, a copy of which is included in
offlineimap. This patch fixes the problem by looping over all the
results returned by getaddrinfo(). Unfortunately it mangles the error
reporting slightly since I couldn't work out how to raise an appropriate
exception, though given that that that was a Python backtrace there was
work to do there anyway.
Note that I have only tested the SSL case.
It looks like I accidentally recorded the wrong version of Curses.py --
originally this code was there, but I moved it over to UIBase so it would
cover the TTY UI also.

hello,
Attached is a patch to enable evaluation of account credentials with the
remotehosteval, remoteusereval and remotepasseval configuration options.
I needed this because rather than change all my other programs
configuration settings when I change, say a password, I store them in a
file. So I call a function in pythonfile which parses the credential
file and returns the wanted info. Not really very well tested, but not
complex either. Offlineimap is great, thanks.

Attached is a new diff that should work though not really tested
(v4.0.14). In repository/Base.py restore_atime() will call
self.restore_folder_atimes() only if the folder type is Maildir. Let me
know if it has any more problems.
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.

Attached is a patch to restore the atime of Maildir folders after
syncing. It can be enabled via the 'restoreatime' boolean in the
configuration file. I needed this because offlineimap is run after a
fetchmail and my mail checker breaks.

Recently I've got an exception (see below) while using offlineimap.
Exception was probably caused by invalid Date header of (likely spam)

I trued to use offlineimap and found that while being quite fast on
small folders, it takes up to several minutes (of 100% busy CPU and
almost no network traffic) to sync a folder with 2000+ messages.
While looking into the code, I found why this happens.
In folder/Base.py, in method BaseFolder.syncmessagesto_copy(),
dest.getmessagelist() is called inside a loop, while being a loop
invariant. Similar thing happens in BaseFolder.syncmessagesto_delete()
for self.getmessagelist().
This causes quadratic complexity over folder size.
Moving these calls out of loops make large folder sync fast (several
seconds instead of several minutes for folder with 2000 messages on
700MHz P3).
Applied patch from Joerg Wendland <joergland@debian.org> to use
APPENDUID result from mail servers that provide it. Closes: #198772.
Resolves: [debian.org #198772]
Added a "force" option to imapserver/select to force a reloading of a
folder. Per [complete.org #67], when cachemessagelist() was called on
an object that was cached from a previous run, it would not re-issue
the select(). Closes: [complete.org #67]
Added -l option. Updated documentation for it. Changed _msg to
_display override in UI modules. Renamed "doc" to "docs" target in
Makefile to avoid conflicting with a subdir.
- offlineimap (3.99.17) unstable; urgency=low
- Fixed two potential obscure race conditions in folder/Maildir.py. +
Condition 1 involved the gettimeseq() function. This function
accesses per-module variables but does not have a lock. It may have
been possible for this to have been called in such a way that
timeseq was not properly updated. + Condition 2 involved the call to
gettimeseq(). Since the timeseq is based on the system clock, we now
use the time as reported inside timeseq() rather than outside. This
way, we can be assured that the same value is in use both places.
- Added debug code to savemessage in folder/Maildir.py to try to track
down a mysterious 0-length file bug. -- John Goerzen
<jgoerzen@complete.org> Tue, 6 May 2003 09:21:38 -0500
- Added some significant debug code to folder/IMAP.py when saving a
new message with APPEND. This should make it easier to track down
bugs both in OfflineIMAP and in mail servers that implement this
poorly.
- Fixed adding of X-OfflineIMAP header when the message starts out
with no headers. (This should not generally occur.) This should help
with some "invalid literal for long()" problems.
When sep was /, the new Maildir support code would recursively try to
scan ., resulting in huge paths and an eventual crash. Fixed with a
one-line patch to Maildir.py. Closes: [complete.org #60] Sergei, The
below diff is going into 3.99.16. You can apply it to 3.99.15 and it
should work for you now. Please let me know. (Ignore any patch errors
for debian/changelog). Thanks for the report.
