this re-introduces 6741bc94 (just a bit differently), thus effectively
reverting fbfcfea5. i suppose this extra CRLF is needed by a broken
CRAM-MD5 implementation of some server, which is why it was there in the
original implementation as well. however, it breaks more pedantic
non-broken servers. if somebody complains, we'll need to add a much
more sophisticated hack.
... for windows fs compatibility.
the maildir-specific InfoDelimiter inherits the global FieldDelimiter
(which affects SyncState), based on the assumption that if the sync
state is on a windows FS, the mailboxes certainly will be as well, while
the inverse is not necessarily true (when running on unix, anyway).

patch initially by Jack Stone <jwjstone@fastmail.fm>,
cleaned up by Jan Synacek <jsynacek@redhat.com>,
... and then almost completely rewritten by me. ^^
RequireCRAM (another fairly stupid "use if available" option) is now
deprecated. instead, the AuthMech option can be used to give a precise
list of acceptable authentication mechanisms (which is currently "a bit"
short). in particular, this allows *not* using CRAM-MD5 even if it's
available.
instead of using a callback which messes with the certificate chain
verification, simply let OpenSSL ignore errors during that phase and
check the result only afterwards.
the combinations of the various options made quite a mess. additionally,
'RequireSSL no' is inherently insecure - "use SSL if available" is plain
stupid.
the old options are still accepted, but will elicit a warning.
it doesn't belong there - it's a property of imap_server_conf_t.
the port setup is now done while reading the config.
this makes socket.[hc] imap-agnostic.
memcmp() is unfortunately not guaranteed to read forward byte-by-byte,
which means that the clever use as a strncmp() without the pointless
strlen()s is not permitted, and can actually misbehave with
SSE-optimized string functions.
so implement proper equals() and starts_with() functions. as a bonus,
the calls are less cryptic.
such connections don't support STARTTLS. that is reasonable, as whatever
makes the connection preauthenticated (typically a Tunnel used to launch
imapd via a shell login) must already rely on the connection's security.
consequently, we would not try to use STARTTLS with such connections.
unfortunately, we'd also skip the RequireSSL check as a side effect.
this means that a rogue server (via a MITM attack) could simply offer a
preauthenticated connection to make us not use SSL, and thus bypass
server authentication. as a result, we could send potentially sensitive
data to the attacker:
- with Patterns used, we would send a LIST command which reveals the
remote Path setting. this isn't very useful to an attacker. also, IMAP
Accounts usually rely on the server-provided NAMESPACE to start with.
- with Create enabled for the remote Store, we would upload messages
from newly appeared local folders. this isn't a very likely situation,
unless the attacker manages to convince the victim to move/copy
interesting mails to a new folder right before the attack.
- with Expunge enabled for the local Store, previously synchronized
folders would be wiped. however, this would require the attacker to
know the correct UIDVALIDITY of each remote folder, which would
require incredible luck or convincing the victim to disclose them.
the first mismatch would likely tip off the victim.
in practice, someone with the level of technical and social engineering
skills required for this attack would very likely find more attractive
attack vectors. therefore, i don't consider this a particularly serious
issue.
configurations with UseIMAPS enabled or using a secure Tunnel were not
affected to start with.
a side effect of this fix is that most users of Tunnel will now need to
explicitly set RequireSSL to false.
an alternative approach would be defaulting all SSL-related settings to
off when Tunnel is used. this would be too invasive for a patch release,
but i'll consider it for 1.2.
see also CVE-2014-2567 for the Trojita MUA.
the highest assigned UID must always be at least as high as the highest
actually found UID, as otherwise we'd hand out duplicate UIDs at some
point. also, getting into such a state in the first place indicates some
potentially serious trouble, or at least external interference (e.g.,
moving/copying a message from another folder without giving it a
pristine filename).

unlike the isync wrapper, mbsync does not have a default for the IMAP
user. the remote user seldomly matches the local one, so "forwarding" it
is more confusing than helpful.

a failure here is rather unlikely, but let's be pedantic.
a failure is not fatal (we'll just enter the journal replay path next
time), so only print warnings.
found by coverity.
the code was copied and the original adjusted ... but not quite
completely.
this means that clashing server names never really worked since - not
that i would have expected this to be a particularly common
configuration to start with. :D
also added comments explaining why there are two implementations of the
same thing.
amends aea4be19e3 (anno 2006).
found by coverity.
we would try to print the uids from the non-existing srec of unpaired
messages while preparing expiration.
this would happen only if a) MaxMessages was configured and b) new
messages appeared on the slave but we were not pushing, so it's a bit of
a corner case.
found by coverity.
this would happen in the absurd corner case that the response code is
properly terminated with a closing bracket, but the atom itself is an
unterminated double-quoted string.
NOT found by coverity.
if something managed to make the maildir .uidvalidity files big enough
(possible only by appending garbage or scrambling them alltogether), we
would overflow the read buffer by one when appending the terminating
null.
this is not expected to have any real-world impact.
