LOCKING & Co:
* switch to or add fcntl() locking; when combining with flock, be careful not to
break on Solaris/FreeBSD, where flock() is just fcntl() so using both would
block.
* Ensure that we don't accidently lose fcntl locks when closing some file
descriptor; this applies even for flock, since again, it might be emulated
with fcntl
* Block signals while writing changed mailbox back. Also, we probably shouldn't
use shutil.copy2() for this; at least we have to handle symlinked targets in a
sane way, see Debian bug #349068. mbox_sync_mailbox() in the mutt code might
be an example how to write back a changed mailbox.
* Double-check the entire locking code.
IMAP SEARCH BEFORE disregards time and timezone information. This should at
least be documented. E.g. I've found that '-d 0' didn't match all messages in
an IMAP mailbox. This is because the SEARCH key is (BEFORE 14-Nov-2007) on 14
November, not matching messages that arrived today. Do we need an '--all'
option to fix this?
Document mbox format issues: link to
http://homepages.tesco.net/~J.deBoynePollard/FGA/mail-mbox-formats.html,
qmail mbox manpage, Debian manpage, RFC 4155. Document what mbox format we can
read, and what we write.
FIXME: we cannot yet parse rfc 2822 addr-spec stuff like quoted local-parts in
return-path addresses.
Minor annoyance: when a From_ line is generated, guess_delivery_time() reports
the used date header a second time.
Check sf.net and Debian BTS for new bugs. Again.
IMAP: ensure mailbox archives are properly named. Currently imap folder names
