Hi Mimi,
as a "profane" (with respect to OSAF and Chandler design issues), I
like this use of IMAP, but my question is: how do you plan to deal
with IMAP possible limitations such as quota usage? In my university
the size limit for inboxes is fixed to 50MB (and students are bound to
10MB), therefore, the amount of items that can be kept in them is
quite small.
Actually, Chandler has itself a limitation in its IMAP implementation
that will alleviate that problem. Brian Kirsch just posted about it in
another thread:
"We do not maintain sync between the IMAP server and Chandler. The IMAP
protocol and the feature sets in Chandler just do not map well and if we
truly support IMAP it would put such large limitations on Mail in
Chandler that we would end up being just another IMAP Mail Client app.
For example, it would be really weird if a Mail item in Chandler that I
stamped as a calendar event and added to three different collections
suddenly disappeared because the original mail message on the IMAP
Server was deleted."
So a good (though unintended) fall out is that this limitation won't
affect how many items are stored in Chandler's folder coming from IMAP:
Chandler will keep them all, even when deleted from the IMAP server.
Cheers,
- Philippe
