Gees, go off line for a couple of days and come back to find the world (of IMAPdir subscriptions) has changed;-)

Hi, everyone :-).Thank you... it is much easier to generate, but still not as easy as "ls

- bincimap-subscribed is now called .bincimap-subscribed, and has a much simpler format (refer to Henry Barager's suggestion in earlier thread). Difference is that mailboxes are stored with their IMAP name (groups/bincimap instead of groups.bincimap), but it should still be easy to generate automatically. 1.2.3 will contain a scripts directory for common maintenance tasks, such as generating files like this.
bincimap-subscribed". What is the possibility of using the routine thatis used to transform the a directory name structure to an IMAP name (which you must have for the "subscribe" operator, if nothing else) to also transform the names in .bincimap-subscribed to IMAP names?
BTW is line 465 of session.cc [ if ((ok = subs.load("bincimap-subscribed")))] correct? That is, there is supposed to be no "." in front of bincimap-subscribed?
<NOTE>
You made the same change to the Maildir++ depot, which has now as .bincimap-subscribed polluting the Maildir++ namespace. Since Maildir++ is backwards from IMAPdir, I would suggest that "bincimap-subscribed" should have been converted to the new format while retaining its original name. Similarly, I would like to see the transformation routines applied to this subscribed folder so that an "ls .?? >bincimap-subscribed" creates a new completely subscribed list. However, I care much less about Maildir++ than I do about IMAPdir!-)
</NOTE>
- A file descriptor leak fix in LIST/LSUB.This seems to be fixed... at least I have not yet been able to exceed the limit!-) Now, SquirrelMail does not go squirrelly with more than 27 folders;-)
My quick check of this indicates that there little or no change in behaviour. Would you like me to rerun the test?- Changes to subscription commands. Binc IMAP now works exactly the way the IMAP standard says (rfc2060 / rfc3501). I can not find any reason for any client to not show all levels of mailboxes. I have studied the responses in Henry's posts and can only find a real difference in the CHILDREN extension. However, with the changes to subscription in this patch, I am unable to reproduce any problems with Mozilla, using the same depository for both Courier-IMAP and Binc IMAP.
Because of the file descriptor leak, this patch is moderately important and I encourage everyone to apply it. Those who use RPM packages will get these changes in version 1.2.3, or replace the bincimap-up and bincimapd binaries from the tarball with patches applied.
Andy :-)
