the purpose of this variable is to hold the UIDNEXT value from before
we started pushing new messages, i.e., the minimal uid we can expect
them to have.
the test suite actually relies on it. it would be possible to adjust it,
but there is not much reason to make paths relative to HOME (as we
support convenient tilde expansion). so use the least invasive approach,
which is simply the old behavior. adjust the documentation accordingly.
This reverts commit da5ce5d8f4.
always use getsockopt() to query the meaning of POLLERR, rather than
reporting "Unidentified socket error".
this is unlikely to have any effect when using select(), as that one
pretty much never signals exceptional conditions.
turns out that poll() may (and on linux does) signal POLLERR on
connection failure. this is unlike select(), which is specified to
signal write readiness in every case.
consequently, check whether we are connecting before checking for
POLLERR.
time_t may be long long. to keep the sprintf format strings simple, just
downcast - this is not going to be a problem for the next 30 years, and
until then long will be 64-bit everywhere anyway.
suggested 3.5 years ago by Antoine Reilles <tonio@NetBSD.org>.
leave all the hard work to OpenSSL. this has several consequences:
- certificate chain validation actually works instead of throwing
around error 20
- the interactive approval is gone. i don't expect it to be useful
anyway, as mbsync is mostly a batch tool
- the code is much shorter
we did not check a valid certificate's subject at all so far.
this is no problem if the certificate file contains only exactly the
wanted host's certificate - before revision 04fdf7d1 (dec 2000, < v0.4),
this was even enforced (more or less - if the peer cert had been
signed directly by a root cert, it would be accepted as well).
however, when the file contains root certificates (like the system-wide
certificate file typically does), any host with a valid certificate
could pretend to be the wanted host.
fdatasync() the journal after creating the pair record and recording
the TUID, but before the message propagation actually starts.
all other writes to the journal are not flushed, as they will at worst
cause some unnecessary network traffic without visible effect.
this fixes two possible failure scenarios:
- if the journal is committed but the mails are not, the missing files
would be erroneously interpreted as deletions which would be
propagated
- less seriously, if the mail files' meta data was committed but the
file contents were not, we would end up with empty files, which would
have to be re-fetched "behind mbsync's back" (just deleting the files
would not work - see above)
make sure that the new state is committed to disk before overwriting the
old version - by default meta data is committed first, so we may end up
with no valid state at all otherwise.
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).
this removes the pathological O(<number of sync records> * <number of
new messages>) case at the cost of being a bit more cpu-intensive (but
O(<number of all messages>)) for old messages.
when we find that the store is incompatible with in-store sync state,
we want to fail the whole channel. however, we must not claim that the
store died, otherwise it won't be disposed of properly.
