[mailbox or mailbox2]
* mailbox
IMPORTANT:
There is currently a rewrite of the mailbox called mailbox2 to address
some of the flaws of the old version.
** Generic search interface
- generalized search interface
** Maildir support
[mail.local]
** iterator_t is very ineffective. Traversing the list from iterator_first()
till iterator_is_done() takes O(n*(n+1)/2) time units, where n is
number of elements in the list. To reduce this to O(n), iterator_t
must keep the address of the last visited item in the list.
- can it append to an imap mailbox?
** Locking
[pop3]
*** Implement a read/write locker_lock() flag so that when MU_LOCKER_WRONLY
is set in the locker flags, only write locks actually lock the file,
read locks don't do anything.
- pop3d_readline - should this use select(), avoid the race condition,
and touch the lockfile in time intervals smaller than
MU_LOCKER_EXPIRE_TIME?
*** implement mailbox_lock() and mailbox_unlock() shortcut functions.
[imap4d]
*** what kind of locking should mh use? See FIXME in mbx_mh.c
- support of mailspools in user home directory, particularly when
they are in maildir format (I think qmail does this).
*** why does mimetest fail on a symlink, but suceed on a dotlocked file?
- Check interaction with various imap clients. Currently tested with:
mail (from mailutils itself), mutt, pine, netscape, mozilla.
*** implement a force unlock mode... so that when a mailbox
is closed or destroyed it can make sure that the lock
is definitely gone.
- Better support of multi-access mailbox
** argcv.c should unescape strings as well as unquote them
- implement charsets in search: 1 SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-2 TEXT ...
** write a fnmatch() that doesn't respect []
- implement AUTHENTICATE KERBEROS_V4 and SKEY and CRAM-MD5 and SRP?
** select needed
[mail]
** mailboxes don't remember whether or not they've been opened
- Add support for /etc/mailcap.
** print errors to a debug object, by default
[mailbox]
** does IMAP do an EXAMINE instead of a select if the mailbox is being
opened readonly? Does list return whether a mailbox is readonly?
Check against CMUs anon server, it is a read-only mailbox.
- iterator_t is very ineffective. Traversing the list from iterator_first()
till iterator_is_done() takes O(n*(n+1)/2), where n is number of elements
in the list. To reduce this to O(n), iterator_t must keep the address
of the last visited item in the list.
** mu_cpystr - the size_t* size outputs only give strlen(), not the
actual length?
- locking:
** need code to find a "real" envelope from... an actual email address
that DSNs can be sent to.
- implement a read/write locker_lock() flag so that when MU_LOCKER_WRONLY
is set in the locker flags, only write locks actually lock the file,
read locks don't do anything.
** need to be able to map some addresses (like mail to "root") to a
user for the box, a la nullmailer, perhaps
- implement mailbox_lock() and mailbox_unlock() shortcut functions.
** mailer_t: the SMTP mailer isn't as fully implemented as the sendmail
mailer.
- what kind of locking should mh use? See FIXME in mbx_mh.c
** make the smtp mailer calls usable standalone, as well as url based,
and use them in mail.remote.
- why does mimetest fail on a symlink, but suceed on a dotlocked file?
** header_get_value() returns the newline?
- implement a force unlock mode... so that when a mailbox
is closed or destroyed it can make sure that the lock
is definitely gone.
** implement a header_field_unfold()?
- lib/argcv.c should unescape strings as well as unquote them
** pipe_open_stream() - implemented with popen()
- write a fnmatch() that doesn't respect []
** support AUTH=anonymous (imap://cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu/archive.info-cyrus)

- mu_cpystr - the size_t* size outputs only give strlen(), not the

** Better support of multi-access mailbox
- finish mh mailbox support (they don't have a folder yet)
** implement charsets in search: 1 SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-2 TEXT ...
- need code to find a "real" envelope from... an actual email address
that DSNs can be sent to.

** Add support for /etc/mailcap
- make the smtp mailer calls useable standalone, as well as url based,

* Mailcap API
- header_get_value() returns the newline?
The framework is implemented. Needs extensive testing.
- implement a header_field_unfold()?
* Mime.types API
- pipe_open_stream() - implemented with popen()
* libmuauth
+ Configuration API
** First argument to mu_auth_fp (and second one to mu_auth_runlist) should
be struct mu_auth_data ** instead of void *.
- Mailcap API
* examples
- Mime.types API
** unify the mbox-* and mimetest examples with messages, it would be nice
to have a general purpose tool
+ A ticket file format allowing specification of different authentication
information for different mailboxes.
* mh -- see mh/TODO
- imap4 client login referals
* sieve
- imap4 client mailbox referals
** Implement boolean shortcut evaluation for `allof' and `anyof'
- Maildir mailbox support
** uid isn't good to identify messages, use message-id?
+ support AUTH=anonymous (imap://cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu/archive.info-cyrus)
** run as daemon, sieveing mail on arrival (need interface for notification
of message arrival, this is supported by imap, but we'll have to fake
for pop and local spools my polling, why can't you select() on a unix
file?)
[libmuauth]
NOTE: Do we need it? mail.local already provides this functionality.
- First argument to mu_auth_fp (and second one to mu_auth_runlist) should
be struct mu_auth_data ** instead of void *.
* utilities
[examples]
** forward only MTA, nullmailer like, but accepting SMTP on 25 from localhost
- unify the mbox-* and mimetest examples with messages, it would be nice
to have a general purpose tool
** utility to move all mail from one mailbox to another, like mbox to
IMAP, preserving all flags that are possible. can sieve do this, or do
I need a mbox-copy() utility?
[mh]
** file viewer, based on the mimetypes api. I want to do a "v foo.blah",
have it look up .blah in mime.types, and do the action spec'ed in mailcap.
- see mh/TODO
** all
[sieve]
* add nightly build
- Implement boolean shortcut evaluation for `allof' and `anyof'
* add more features
- uid isn't good to identify messages, use message-id?
* optimize everything
- run as daemon, sieveing mail on arrival (need interface for notification
of message arrival, this is supported by imap, but we'll have to fake
for pop and local spools my polling, why can't you select() on a unix
file?)
Do we need it? mail.local already provides this functionality.
* test everything
[utilities]
* util_strcasestr() from mail/util.c provides the same functionality
as i_ascii_casemap_contains() from libsieve/comparator. Merge both
versions.
