Part of the problem is that when the driver was written they left out a
MAJOR piece of code to handle copying mailmessages between DIFFERENT
mailbox formats :)... to add that in take a look at any of the other
mailbox routines in their MAILBOXTYPE_copy routine and see that they
call mailproxycopy first and then do some extra things... (It has been
a long time since I fixed this... so I don't know if you need to change
any other code but the maildir_copy)... this is what my maildir_copy
looks like now... Notice that if we get an EINVAL mailbox we try
to use mailproxycopy instead.
laters,
-d.
long maildir_copy (MAILSTREAM *stream,char *sequence,char *mailbox,long
options)
{
STRING st;
MESSAGECACHE *elt;
struct stat sbuf;
int fd;
long i;
char *s,tmp[MAILTMPLEN];
mailproxycopy_t pc =
(mailproxycopy_t) mail_parameters (stream,GET_MAILPROXYCOPY,NIL);
/* make sure valid mailbox */
if (!maildir_isvalid (mailbox,NIL)) switch (errno) {
case ENOENT: /* no such file? */
mm_notify (stream,"[TRYCREATE] Must create mailbox before copy",NIL);
return NIL;
case EINVAL:
if (pc) return (*pc) (stream,sequence,mailbox,options);
sprintf (LOCAL->buf,"Invalid Maildir-format mailbox name:
%.80s",mailbox);
mm_log (LOCAL->buf,ERROR);
return NIL;
default:
if (pc) return (*pc) (stream,sequence,mailbox,options);
sprintf (LOCAL->buf,"Not a Maildir-format mailbox: %.80s",mailbox);
mm_log (LOCAL->buf,ERROR);
return NIL;
}
