- asynchronous sockets using an event loop
- connect & starttls have completion callback parameters
- callbacks for notification about filled input buffer and emptied
output buffer
- unsent imap command queue
- used when
- socket output buffer is non-empty
- number of commands in flight exceeds limit
- last sent command requires round-trip
- command has a dependency on completion of previous command
- trashnc is tri-state so only a single "scout" trash APPEND/COPY is
sent at first. a possibly resulting CREATE is injected in front of
the remaining trash commands, so they can succeed (or be cancel()d
if it fails).
- queue's presence necessitates imap_cancel implementation
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.
Added Tunnel directive to allow the user to specify a shell command to run
to set up an IMAP connection in place of a TCP socket (eg., to run over
an SSH session).
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.
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.
