Every few days someone joins the IRC channel complaining of poor performance or bugs with IMAP sources, and we have to tell them to use offlineimap or fetchmail instead. This is embarrassing. There are likely many more users who don't bother to ask on IRC and either unhappily tolerate IMAP or give up on Sup.
Even with IMAP you still need to store a huge index on disk, so I can't accept that you'd have enough space for that but not for the actual messages. You still need to download every message to index it. Your mails aren't any more secure from someone stealing your laptop. The same arguments apply to mbox+ssh. The benefit for me is that I won't have to deal with slow, blocking sources when converting the UI to EventMachine. If people agree that this change is a good idea, I assume William will add a deprecation notice to master for 0.10 and merge this patchset to next. _______________________________________________ Sup-devel mailing list Sup-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-devel
