bb48b6deaf Get rid of the UsefulIMAP4 classes
The three classes with names starting with UsefulIMAP4 were used for two
purposes, to include the UsefulIMAPMixIn class and to implement various
system-specific kludges. None of these kludges remain, so it is cleaner
to include UsefulIMAPMixIn directly in imaplibutil and forget about them
for good.

9f03f41b70 Move UsefulIMAPMixIn to imaplibutil.py
Now that we do not need any system-specific hack, the three UsefulIMAP4
classes have become empty and should be removed. This implies importing
UsefulIMAPMixIn directly from the classes defined in imaplibutil.

Prepare this change by moving the code into imaplibutil.py. Functionally
this is a no-op.

9a277cfd02 Remove a darwin-specific workaround for read()
Because of a buggy realloc() implementation in earlier versions of
Python on Mac OS X, we had to cut reads into manageable chunks by hand;
this is no more needed with Python 2.6, and besides it causes problems
with imaplib2, which we now use. Revert the special case to use the
system's read() instead, which is now safe.

fd28c5a2d3 folder/IMAP: savemessage() should just save flags if uid already exists
As the LocalStatus and UIDMap backend already did: If the uid already
exists for savemessage(), only modify the flags and don't append a new
message.

We don't invoke savemessage() on messages that already exist in our sync
logic, so this has no change on our current behavior. But it makes
backends befave more consistent with each other.

1bf4bee5e6 Update to match semantics of new imaplib2
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
  relies on having a read_fd file descriptor to poll on.

0a76f0a23d Import newest version of imaplib2
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 :)

2946a1ea5d Convert rfc822 module to email module
The rfc822 module has been deprecated since python 2.3, and conversion to
the email module is straightforward, so let us do that. rfc822 is
completely gone in python3.

This also fixes a bug that led to offlineimap abortion (but that code path
is apparently usually not exercised so I did not notice:
rfc822|email.utils.parsedate return a tuple which has no named attributes,
but we were using them later in that function. So pass the tuple into a
struct_time() to get named attributes.

While reading the docs, I noticed that email.parsedate returns invalid
daylight savings information (is_dst attribute), and we are using it
anyway. Oh well, the imap server might think the mails are off by an hour
at worst.

efcce01d64 Declutter TTY output
Previously we would output:

Folder sync sspaeth.de[INBOX.INBOX201004]:
 Syncing INBOX.INBOX201004: IMAP -> Maildir
Folder sync sspaeth.de[INBOX.INBOX201006]:
 Syncing INBOX.INBOX201006: IMAP -> Maildir
Folder sync sspaeth.de[INBOX.INBOX201009]:
 Syncing INBOX.INBOX201009: IMAP -> Maildir

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

If syncing multiple accounts in parallel, we will still get headers
indicating the account:

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

This is a small fix that makes the output much nicer in my opinion.

Also don't output the thread name if we are in the MainThread, e.g. when
we output the initial offlineimap banner.

b94bf79258 fix hang because of infinite loop reading EOF
Read() should return empty string when EOF happen, instead of looping
forever. This is the right semantics of read(), and a wrapped version
should not change it.

If you read the read(2) system call manpage, it tells you that when EOF
is seen, return value is 0; it does not say

	``loop forever when EOF happen''.

After the EOF detection is patched you can see the
following exception:

3eee821382 Simplify the syncing strategy a bit
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.

4e28c7c93f Allow to use nicer UI names
The previous ui names were pretty unwieldy. Is it TTYUI.TTY or
TTY.TTYUI? Do I have to use capitals and where?

Simplify the names by making them case insensitive and by dropping
everything before the dot.

So "Curses.Blinkenlights" can now be invoked as "blinkenlights" or
"BLINKENLIGHTS". The old names will still work just fine so the
transition should be smooth. We issue a warning that the long names are
deprecated.

Document in offlineimap.conf that we don't accept lists of fallback UIs,
but only one UI option (this was already the case before this commit but
still wrongly documented).

The list of accepted ui names is:
  ttyui (default), basic, quiet, machineui, blinkenlights

(http://bugs.python.org/issue11024) and returns localized patches. So we
create INTERNALDATE ourselves and pass it to append() as a string.

This commit fixes a bug that international users used to pass an invalid
date to the IMAP server, which the server will either ignore or complain
about.

419f27418e Simplify & document savemessage_getnewheader
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.

Also document the function, describing what it does, and what it returns.
