b1ff307674 Output more detailed error on corrupt LocalStatus
When our LocalStatus cache is corrupt, ie e.g. it contains lines not in
the form number:number, we would previously just raise a ValueError
stating things like "too many values". In case we encounter clearly
corrupt LocalStatus cache entries, clearly raise an exception stating
the filename and the line, so that people can attempt to repair it.

997dc1f510 Remove unneeded imports of UIBase
Code was broken, as these backends import UIBase (which had been moved).
However, they don't use it, so we can just delete the import.
Sorry, I failed to find those earlier somehow.

760698253b LocalStatus: Don't ignore Exceptions on os.fsync
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.

1a1e68d8be Catch KeyboardInterrupt exceptions explicitely
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.

573d7ed52a Change X-OfflineIMAP header format
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.

caa7d8a128 much faster deleting of messages from LocalStatus
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.

This should solve Debian bug #518093:

30344587d9 Patch for error handling / separation of accounts etc.
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...

Regards,

-Mike

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

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.

imap: imapsplit() got a non-string input; working around.

looking at code for Gmail.py processmessagesflags, comments from Ricardo
indicate it was copied from the same function in folder/IMAP.py.

However, folder/IMAP.py has checks for this, added 2002-07-12 in
5342dacc & 817a10ce.  Suspect that Gmail author believed those checks
superfluous for Gmail.

Copied checks from folder/IMAP.py to folder/Gmail.py.

08a579657a Fix handling of servers that return UIDs in some FETCH responses
closes #22

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)
21:19.36 < * 321 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen \Deleted))
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

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.

81b86fb74c Add Gmail IMAP special support.
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.

c305d63e00 fix behaviour for delete/expunge, when lacking rights
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.

6caaea36e0 Fix Maildir race
fixes deb#439384

From: martin f krafft
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.

3305d8cd4d Daniel Jacobowitz patches
fixes deb#433732

Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2007 13:54:56 -0400
From: Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@false.org>
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.
