Re: [bincimap] New mail still not always detected

[Henry Baragar]

Andy,

I knew I should have kept the session and posted it along with the 
original message!

Here we go:

1.  At 9:43 I sent a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which has the 
following delivery instructions:
	# cat opera/.qmail-test
	./Courier/.Test/
	./Maildir/.Test/
	./IMAPdir/Test/

2.  At 9:44 I check mail from Opera:  Only Courier sees the new message.

3.  At 9:45 I check mail from Opera again:  no change.

4.  At 9:46 I select the folder associated with ./Maildir/.Test:  I now 
see the message (but not in the IMAPdir one).

5.  At 9:47 I send another message to opera-test.

6.  At 9:48 I check mail from Opera:  I see the new message in 
./Maildir/.Test as well as two new messages in ./IMAPdir/Test/.

7.  At 9:49 I am confused because the behaviour is different from last 
night when the two new messages in ./IMAPdir/Test/ did not show up until I 
selected the folder!-)

8.  At 9:52 I post the Opera logs to:
        http://www.instantiated.ca/binc/opera-Courier-2003-09-16.log
        http://www.instantiated.ca/binc/opera-Maildir-2003-09-16.log
        http://www.instantiated.ca/binc/opera-IMAPdir-2003-09-16.log
9.  At 9:56 I still have not followed Andy's exact instructions, but hope 
that what I have done has provided better information;-)  If Andy says 
not, then I will follow his instructions exactly.

10.  At 9:57 I post this message.

Cheers,
Henry

Andy,
There is still a buglet in the code that detects new messages:  if a
folder has never been "SELECT"ed, then bincIMAP never detects the 
arrival
of a new message.  Once it has been "SELECT"ed, even if another folder 
is
"SELECT"ed, then bincIMAP does a good job of detecting new messages.  
This
is true regardless of the client I am using (I tested use Opera and
Netscape 7) and I can reproduce it in the lab.
In this session, there was no bincimap-cache nor bincimap-uidvalidity. So
basically it's an unselected mailbox, containing two messages in cur/. I
then did a STATUS, correctly displaying 2 current, 2 recent. I then 
copied
a messages into new/. This seems to be the right response:

* OK Welcome to Binc IMAP v1.2.2 (c) Copyright 2002, 2003 Andreas Aardal

Can you reproduce the condition in your lab, and see if you get different
results?
Keep up the good work!
Yohoo :-) Progression is a good thing. :)

Andy
