Recently the internal function use of imaplib2's _get_untagged_response()
was switched to use the public documented .response() function (which
should return the same data). However within a few fays we received reports
that both uses of a) the UIDVALIDITY fetching and b) the APPENDUID fetching
returned [None] as data although the IMAP log definitely shows that data
was returned. Revert to using the undocumented internal imaplib2 function,
that seemed to have worked without problems. This needs to be taken up to
the imaplib2 developer.

Rather than to write out the nametrans'lated folder names for mbnames,
we now write out the local untransformed box names. This is generally
what we want. This became relevant since we support nametrans rules on
the local side since only a short time. Reported by Paul Collignan.

We have a reported case where response('UIDVALIDITY') returned [None]
which results in an ugly non-intuitive crash. Sanity check and report
something nicer.

Pass through the 'force' argument from selectro() to select() so that it
can also enforce a new SELECT even if we already are on that folder.
Also change the default parameter from '0' to 'False' to make clear that
this is a Bool.

WARNING: I consider the Gmail "realdelete" option as harmful with the
potential for DATALOSS. Add scary warnings to offlineimap.conf.
See the analysis at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.general/5265
Deleting a message from a Gmail folder via the IMAP interface will just
remove that folder's label from the message: the message will continue
to exist in the '[Gmail]/All Mail' folder. If `realdelete` is set to
`True`, then deleted messages will be moved to the '[Gmail]/Trash'
folder. BEWARE: this will immediately delete a messages from *all
folders* it belongs to!
AS OFFLINEIMAP IMPLEMENTS FOLDER MOVES AS 1) AN ADD and 2) A DELETE (the
order can vary), THIS MEANS THAT A FOLDER MOVE CAN CAUSE DATALOSS. DO
NOT USE IT AND MOVE MAIL TO "[Gmail]/Trash" TO DELETE MAIL FROM
"[Gmail]/All Mail"!
We will need to discuss whether to completely disable that feature.

Add a changelog to W. Trevor King's previous commit. Also make wording a
bit more consistent and and remove a now unneeded comparison (dirname is
always set when extension is set).

Subject: [PATCH] Only scan children in _getfolders_scandir if extension is set.
When sep is '/', MaildirRepository._getfolders_scandir recursively
checks sub-directories for additional maildirs. The old loop logic
always checked the top directory and its children. This lead to
children being found twice, once from their parent, with dirname
matching their directory name, and once from themselves, with a
dirname of ''.
This patch fixes the problem by only checking the top directory when
extension is not set (i.e. for the root directory).
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.

Blinkenlights UI 6.5.0 regression fixes only.
* Sleep led to crash ('abort_signal' not existing)
* Make exit via 'q' key work again cleanly
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth <Sebastian@SSpaeth.de>
With the new abort signal handler, we can send a signal that lets us
exit cleanly. Make use of this, rather than crashing out in ugly ways.
This affects only the Blinkenlights UI when pressing 'q'.

This is a regression introduced when renaming signals due to the

OfflineIMAP v6.5.1 (2012-01-07) - "Quest for stability"
=======================================================
* Fixed Maildir regression "flagmatchre" not found. (regressed in 6.5.0)
* Have console output go by default to STDOUT and not STDERR (regression
in 6.5.0)
* Fixed MachineUI to urlencode() output lines again, rather than
outputting multi-line items. It's ugly as hell, but it had been that
way for years.
* Remove the old global locking system. We lock only the accounts that
we currently sync, so you can invoke OfflineImap multiple times now as
long as you sync different accounts. This system is compatible with
all releases >= 6.4.0, so don't run older releases simultanous to this
one.
THe new logging framwork spit putput to STDERR by default (as that is
pythons default), but we used to have STDERR, so make it go there again.

We were using the internal imaplib2 _get_untagged_response() functions a
few times. Replace 3 of these calls with 2 calls to the public function
response() rather than fudging with internals that could change anytime.

This mostly reverts commit 0d95651417,
disabling the old global lock system that we had in parallel to the new one.

The logging rework led to multipline output as we stopped urlencoding
the output lines. Urrg. Fixed this, so output is urlencoded again.

These were needed for python <2.6 compatability, but since we depend on
python 2.6 now, these can go.

This is a CRITICAL bug fix release for everyone who is on the 6.4.x
series. Please upgrade to avoid potential data loss! The version has
been bumped to 6.5.0, please let everyone know to stay away from 6.5.x!
I am sorry for this.
See details in the Changelog and even more gory details in commit
message for commit 8fc7227189.

This change looks harmless, but it fixes a severe bugfix, potentially
leading to data loss! It fixes the "on n new uploads, it will redownload
n-1, n-2, n-3,... messages during the next syncs" condition, and this is
what happens:
If there are more than one Mails to upload to a server, we do that by
repeatedly invoking folder.IMAP.savemessage(). If the server supports
the UIDPLUS extension we query the resulting UID by doing a:
imapobj._get_untagged_response('APPENDUID', True)
and that is exactly the problem. The "True" part causes the reply to
remain in the "response stack" of the imaplib2 library. When we do
the same call on a subsequent message and the connection is still on the
same folder, we will get the same UID response back (imaplib2 only looks
for the first matching response and returns that). The only time we
clear the response stack, is when the IMAP connection SELECTS a
different folder.
This means that when we upload 10 messages, the IMAP server gives us
always the same UID (that of the first one) back. And trying to write
out 10 different messages with the same UID will confuse OfflineIMAP.
This is the reason why we saw the ongoing UPLOADING/DOWNLOADING behavior
that people reported. And this is the reason why we saw the
inconsistency in the UID mapping in the IMAP<->IMAP case.
I urge everyone to upgrade ASAP. Sorry for that, I don't know why the
problem only became prevalent in the recent few releases as this code
has been there for quite a while.

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.
