[1.1.0]
Support for hierarchical mailboxes in Patterns.
Full support for IMAP pipelining (streaming, parallelization) added.
This is considerably faster especially with high-latency networks.
Faster and hopefully more reliable support for IMAP servers without the
UIDPLUS extension (e.g., M$ Exchange).
More automatic handling of SSL certificates.
[1.0.0]
Essentially a rewrite. Synchronization state storage concept, configuration

have a look at libpathfinder.
find out why mutt's message size calc is confused.
add some marker about message being already [remotely] trashed.
real transactions would be certainly not particularly useful ...
!srec->msg[t] || (srec->msg[t]->status & M_DEAD)
check whether disappearing (M_DEAD) messages (due to maildir rescans) are
properly accounted for by the syncing code.
use UID EXPUNGE! (rfc4315 (obsoletes rfc2359))
make sync_chans() aware of servers, so a bad server (e.g., wrong password)
won't cause the same error message for every attached store.
quotas are weird, they make close() fail.
make SSL (connect) timeouts produce a bit more than "Unidentified socket error".
clarify error cases of transactions.
network timeout handling in general would be a good idea.
clarify UID 0 vs. < 0 returns vor store_msg & find_msg.
unify maildir locking between the two UID storage schemes.
re-opening the db may be expensive, so keep it open.
but keeping lock for too long (e.g., big message downloads) may block other
clients. auto-release lock after 500 ms?
create dbg_srec(srec, fmt, ...).
make SSL certificate validation more automatic.
allow excluding particular boxes from a wildcard spec.
kill the concept of an INBOX, it is a relic from single-channel operation.
if somebody needs it, he can have two stores with different Paths. the path
can name a single (in-)box (curr. broken with maildir). an empty box name
actually means empty, so the IMAP mailbox should use INBOX for Path (can't
make that the default, as it would mess up the NAMESPACE).
add daemon mode. primary goal: keep imap password in memory.
also: idling mode.
add asynchronous operation to remote mailbox drivers. this is actually
what prevents us from simply using c-client and thus becoming mailsync.
parallel fetching of multiple mailboxes.
set_flags:
@ -39,9 +38,7 @@ add streaming from fetching to storing.
handle custom flags (keywords).
fix maildir_{open_store,list} to handle partial names (last char not slash).
add a way to automatically create and sync subfolders.
handle google IMAP extensions.
use MULTIAPPEND and FETCH with multiple messages.
