Integrate --debug-imap option into yet-to-be-implemented -vv switch?
|
|
I had the idea to provide separate debugging info levels anyway, see --debug
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
Gracefully close IMAP connection upon unexptected error (currently archivemail
|
|
just terminates).
|
|
|
|
LOCKING & Co:
|
|
* Block signals while writing changed mailbox back.
|
|
* Double-check the entire locking code.
|
|
|
|
Seems like existing archives are not read or validated in any way. New archive
|
|
data is blindly appended... Probably okay, but should be documented.
|
|
|
|
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. (This problem is probably
|
|
fixed for most use cases by the --all option.)
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
are mapped like this:
|
|
|
|
IMAP URL | resulting mbox_archive
|
|
------------+------------------------
|
|
test.box | test.box_archive.gz
|
|
test/box | box_archive.gz
|
|
|
|
|
|
Implement --include-draft. But before, think about it again. (This is feature
|
|
request #1569305.)
|
|
|
|
Implement a fallback if an IMAP server doesn't support SEARCH. (Ouch!)
|
|
|
|
Add IMAP tests to the testsuite (upload test messages with IMAP "APPEND
|
|
date-string"). This should be done without any real network I/O.
|
|
|
|
Try to port archivemail to email.message and the new mailboxes in Python 2.5.
|
|
Is these flexible enough for our needs?
|
|
|
|
Line out what we want with respect to multiple selection criteria.
|
|
Some make sense, but this easily gets too complex, and if only it's a hassle
|
|
with adding all the options. Hm.
|
|
|
|
Reject patch #1036022 "Added option to inverse date compare" after cooling down
|
|
because the patch is both stupid (copy+paste code) and broken. Don't see why
|
|
anyone should want this/we should support it.
|
|
If this is reasonable *at all*, I think we'd better go for all the complexity
|
|
to honour _two_ cut off dates (see Debian bug "#184124: archivemail: -D and -d
|
|
should not be incompatible", which is a comparably half-baken thought). </rant>
|
|
|
|
Add --debug or -vv switch, and move the printing of diagnostic info for each
|
|
message to --debug.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps add some more nice stuff like printing of subject, sender...
|
|
See tracker #868714 "added stats option to archivemail", which has a point.
|
|
Message-Ids are useful for diagnosis, but not very nice to read for humans.
|
|
|
|
Be a nicer citizen with respect to mailbox locking.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps prune/shorten IMAP mailbox URLs in messages?
|
|
They may be quite long and may contain the sensitive password.
|
|
Also shows up in the process list...
|
|
Perhaps find a clean, lean replacement for all that clutter in the IMAP urls.
|
|
|
|
Require --output-dir for IMAP archiving? Otherwise we just drop the archive in
|
|
in the current working directory.
|
|
|
|
Check all items below, which are from the original author. :-)
|
|
|
|
.archivemailrc support
|
|
|
|
When you get a file-not-found in the 6th mailbox of 10, it aborts the whole
|
|
run. Better to fail gracefully and keep going.
|
|
|
|
Add more tests (see top of test_archivemail)
|
|
|
|
We need some better checking to see if we are really looking at a valid
|
|
mbox-format mailbox.
|
|
|
|
Add an option to not cut threads.
|
|
|
|
Add MMDF mailbox support
|
|
|
|
Add Babyl mailbox support
|
|
|
|
Add option to archive depending on mailbox size threshold
|
|
- is this a good idea?
|
|
|
|
Add option to archive depending on number of messages
|

- is this a good idea?
