I'm trying to fix mailsync a mail synchronizer to properly work wrt to flags. I'm trying to accomplish this by using c-client.
I need to: * read the headers in box A * read the headers in box B * determine from the header which emails I have already seen in what inbox (same algorithm CVS is using) * copy all messages that A hasn't seen from B to A * copy all messages that B hasn't seen from A to B * delete all messages on B that were deleted on A * delete all messages on A that were deleted on B * expunge A * expunge B Now the mailsync source code is juggling with mail_open in a rather ugly way and I am not sure whether it is really succeeding in all cases to keep all the flags (especially "seen") intact on both A and B and at the same time trying to do that transparently with respect to where those boxes are (IMAP, mbox, mh, remote, locally, ...). So my first question is: is there a way to achieve the above with c-client, that is guaranteed to work? Basically this means: * open a box for reading messages * open a box for appending messages * expunge a box and at the same time keep all flags as they were. Second question: some of my MH users say that re-mail_open'ing a MH store will make it forget all all removal flags. Is this a known bug/problem/feature. Is there a work around or should I try to fix c-clients source with respect to this? Thanks a lot, *t -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Tomas Pospisek http://sourcepole.com - Linux & Open Source Solutions ----------------------------------------------------------- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ For information about this mailing list, and its archives, see: http://www.washington.edu/imap/c-client-list.html ------------------------------------------------------------------
