1004756659 kill TODO item about killing INBOX
while it's correct that mbsync doesn't strictly need to support both
Inbox and Path in a single Channel due to being able to Group Channels,
this "simplification" would have some undesirable effects:
- the concept is part of IMAP and provides a certain level of
  "zero-conf" (in particular via NAMESPACE). having to set up two Stores
  and associated Channels for one Account to reproduce this
  functionality would add quite some redundancy to common
  configurations.
- implementing MapInbox and move detection across Channels would add
  significant complexity.

one reason why one would want this change in the first place is to get
rid of the ambiguity of INBOX appearing right under Path. this could be
avoided by either using a different magic prefix that cannot appear in
actual mailbox names, or requiring a prefix for boxes inside path as
well. neither approach seems worth the effort, given that nesting
"INBOX" under Path causes problems for some other IMAP clients anyway.

04fc586e75 handle case-insensitivity of IMAP's INBOX
this is relevant only when listing an IMAP Store's contents, as that's
the only place where we aren't imposing the spelling ourselves.

we need to be careful not to treat our own canonical (prefix-stripped
and always slash-delimited) box names like that; codify that in
comments.

this reveals that commit 6f2160f1 may be deemed to have been incorrect -
the TODO item was ambiguous, and could quite possibly have meant this
fix. unsurprisingly, 380ccdd4 re-introduced it with more explicit
wording.

2bba9b903c wrap message trashing into simple transactions
trashing many messages at once inevitably overtaxes m$ exchange, and the
connection breaks. without any progress tracking, it would restart from
scratch each time, which would lead to a) it never finishing and b) many
copies of the messages in the trash.

full transactions as we do for "proper" syncing would be over the top,
as it's not *that* bad if some messages get duplicated in the trash. so
we record only the messages for which trashing completed, thus allowing
some overlap between the attempts.

6f2160f136 remove todo about case insensitive INBOX
this is *our* magic string, not IMAP's.
ok, admittedly, we *also* send it to IMAP, but that's just convenience.
actually making it case insensitive would improve interoperability with
thunderbird (which interprets INBOX even if qualified), but would break
existing setups (including mine).

9bbb02b8fd Revert "fix UIDNEXT handling"
in fact, UIDNEXT (and UIDVALIDITY) null is *not* allowed (see RFC3501
section 9). them popping up nonetheless was a dovecot bug (which would
also confuse dovecot itself).
having it in as a workaround was no good either, as quite some other
code in mbsync assumes that UIDs are not null.

This reverts commit e1fa867 and most of 39006d7.

d2bed4990d unify error reporting
- introduce sys_error() and use it instead of perror() and
  error(strerror()) in all expected error conditions
- perror() is used only for "something's really wrong with the system"
  kind of errors
- file names, etc. are quoted if they are not validated yet, so e.g. an
  empty string becomes immediately obvious
- improve and unify language
- add missing newlines

130664b622 The Big Rewrite. too many change to list them all.
as opposed to earlier threats, BerkDB was not entirely dropped; i
suppose the isync 0.7 -> 0.8 change had a reason, so i added an
alternative UID storage scheme.
note that BDB 4.0 is not sufficient, as the db->open function changed in
an incompatible way ...

i updated the debian packaging except for a changelog entry.
note that i removed the upgrade blurb, as upstream now has a smooth
upgrade path down to at least isync 0.4.

c121ec912f 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.

e015398ff2 added `Delete' configuration option to force -d option
sync_mailbox() didn't consider MaxSize == 0 to mean "unlimited".

load_config() needs to print a newline in its error messages since
next_arg() kills the newline of the line that was read out of the config
file.

8af21c5604 handle untagged responses in imap_fetch_message() so that it doesn't bomb
out if new mail arrives while in the process of downloading

noted in BUGS section of man page that if new mail arrives after the initial
message list has been retrieved from the IMAP server, that new mail will not
be fetched until the next invocation of isync.
