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 commite1fa867and most of39006d7. -REFMAIL: 4CA62BA1.4020104@lemma.co.uk

have a look at libpathfinder.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
find out why mutt's message size calc is confused.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
iNboX is case insensitive!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
use UID EXPUNGE! (rfc4315 (obsoletes rfc2359))
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
quotas are weird, they make close() fail.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
clarify error cases of transactions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
clarify UID 0 vs. < 0 returns vor store_msg & find_msg.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
create dbg_srec(srec, fmt, ...).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
make SSL certificate validation more automatic.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
allow excluding particular boxes from a wildcard spec.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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:
 | 
						|
- imap: grouping commands for efficiency
 | 
						|
- callback should get the flags actually affected. but then, why could flag
 | 
						|
  changes fail at all?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
use MULTIAPPEND and FETCH with multiple messages.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
create dummies describing MIME structure of messages bigger than MaxSize.
 | 
						|
flagging the dummy would fetch the real message. possibly remove --renew.
 | 
						|
note that all interaction needs to happen on the slave side probably.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
don't SELECT boxes unless really needed; in particular not for appending,
 | 
						|
and in write-only mode not before changes are made.
 | 
						|
problem: UIDVALIDITY change detection is delayed, significantly complicating
 | 
						|
matters.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
possibly request message attributes on a per-message basis from the drivers.
 | 
						|
considerations:
 | 
						|
- record non-existing UID ranges in the sync database, so IMAP FETCHes needn't
 | 
						|
  to exclude anyway non-existing messages explicitly.
 | 
						|
- when detect unborn pairs and orphaned messages being gone? implied by expunge:
 | 
						|
  with trashing, by local driver, or of messages we deleted in this run. the
 | 
						|
  remaining cases could be handled by automatic periodical cleanup passes, an 
 | 
						|
  explicit --cleanup action, or be implied by one of the other actions.
 | 
						|
- the benefit of this is questionable, as fine-grained requests will result
 | 
						|
  in sending huge amounts of data, and upstream is often way slower than
 | 
						|
  downstream.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
maildir: possibly timestamp mails with remote arrival date.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
maybe throw out the ctx->recent stuff - it's used only for one info message.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
possibly use ^[[1m to highlight error messages.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
consider alternative trash implementation: trash only messages we delete,
 | 
						|
and trash before marking them deleted in the mailbox. downside: all other
 | 
						|
programs have to do the same. and what if the deleted flag is unset?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
items out of scope of purely UID based approach:
 | 
						|
- detect message moves between folders
 | 
						|
- recovering from UIDVALIDITY change (uw-imap < 2004.352 does this a lot)
