isync/TODO

change of UIDVALIDITY shouldn't be considered fatal for the imap connection.
maybe the error handling needs to be cleaned up in general.

don't require maildir_trash. currently MaxMessages gets into the way of
simply removing it; that is fixable with some shuffling, though.

refactor mailbox support. create proper mailbox drivers; handle imap and
maildir (and anything else) symmetrically; decouple UID->message mapping
from sync database - should use the same UID storing schemes as c-client
(pine, uw-imap) does, at least optionally, i think.

add asynchrounous operation to remote mailbox drivers. this is actually
what prevents us from simply using c-client for the previous point and
thus simply becoming mailsync.

store message flags in sync database, so _un_setting them will be properly
synced as well.

handle custom imap flags. currently, isync just fails horribly if it
encounters some.

add options for fine-grained control of syncing operations (--new, --delete &
--flags) and direction (--push & --pull).

add support for syncing with other: and shared: via NAMESPACE

isync ignores asynchronous notifications (untagged responses), so mail 
arriving during a fetch will not be fetched in the current run any more.

add a way to automatically create and sync IMAP subfolders.

make the command line take precedence over the config file.

possibly timestamp mails with remote arrival date.

possibly recover from UIDVALIDITY change by resyncing according to message
IDs - this is a pretty common condition with uw-imap.

possibly use ^[[1m to highlight error messages.

added generic IMAP list parser and rewrote imap_exec() to handle arbitrary data instead of hardcoded 2000-12-21 10:24:53 +00:00			`add support for syncing with other: and shared: via NAMESPACE`
added support for tilde (~) expansion in the `Mailbox' and `CertificateFile' configuration directives added `Maildir' configuration command to specify the default location of the user's mailboxes. If a relative path is used in a `Mailbox' command, this path is used as a prefix. 2001-01-16 19:45:08 +00:00

updated year in copyright notice the uid for each message in the maildir is now stored in a dbm database rather than the filename. this change was necessary because isync became confused if you copied a message to another folder, in which case the uid was invalid. as a result of the above change, isync now acquires a mutex on the mailbox to protect the dbm database from concurrent access. main() was reworked to continue gracefully when an error is encountered, and to always call maildir_close() so that the lock can be disabled, and the database closed. 2002-01-16 19:47:28 +00:00
