18 ** Generic search interface 17 * mail: rewrite I/O support using streams.
19 18
20 ** Locking 19 * redo debugging & logging support the way it is implemented in dico/mailfromd
21 20
22 *** Implement a read/write locker_lock() flag so that when MU_LOCKER_WRONLY 21 * re-implement imap4 client (in progress)
23 is set in the locker flags, only write locks actually lock the file, 22
24 read locks don't do anything. 23 * re-implement nntp client
24
25 * properties:
26
27 ** implement libproperty - a library of various storage backends for mu_property_t.
28
29 ** consider a possibility of typed properties (integer, unsigned, string, ...)
30
31 * vacation: link with libproperty when it is ready
32
33 * remove libmu_auth, rewrite mu_auth support via mu_property_t
34
35 * filter interface: need API to send line wrap length
36
37 See reset_line_length in examples/base64.c, libmailutils/tests/fltst.c
38 and mu/filter.c.
39
40 * locale-dependent variant of mu_rfc2047_decode
41
42 See rfc2047_decode_wrapper in frm/common.c for a prototype.
43
44 * observer: allow for procedure-data closures
45
46 See frm/common.c (near line 425).
47
48 * sieve.scm is exempted from installcheck.
49
50 See guimb/scm/Makefile.am for a discussion.
51
52 * lib/mailcap.c: rewrite using streams
53
54 * mu_address_createv: pass hints as in mu_address_create_hint?
55
56 * fix Python support
25 57
26 *** what kind of locking should mh use? See FIXME in mbx_mh.c 58 * fix C++ support
27 59
28 *** why does mimetest fail on a symlink, but succeed on a dotlocked file? 60 * redo libraries as loadable modules (where possible)
29 61
30 *** implement a force unlock mode... so that when a mailbox 62 * move obsolete interfaces to libmu-compat:
31 is closed or destroyed it can make sure that the lock
32 is definitely gone.
33 63
34 ** mailboxes don't remember whether or not they've been opened 64 argcv
65 vartab
35 66
36 ** does IMAP do an EXAMINE instead of a select if the mailbox is being 67 * Configuration callback functions should not modify node->tag and node->label.
37 opened readonly? Does list return whether a mailbox is readonly?
38 Check against CMUs anon server, it is a read-only mailbox.
39 68
40 ** mu_cpystr - the size_t* size outputs only give strlen(), not the 69 * mailbox
41 actual length?
42 Sam Roberts:
43 My recollection is that when you give a buffer to output APIs, you give
44 the total size. But the size_t* that returns the required size, returns
45 the required size, minus the NUL. The units are different, in a sense.
46 70
47 ** need code to find a "real" envelope from... an actual email address 71 ** Generic search interface
48 that DSNs can be sent to.
49 72
50 ** need to be able to map some addresses (like mail to "root") to a 73 ** Locking
51 user for the box, a la nullmailer, perhaps
52 Sam Roberts:
53 If you have a really simple workstation with a basic mail system,
54 you may want mail.local to deliver all email addressed to "root" and
55 "postmaster", etc., to a particular user, like yourself.
56 Sergey Poznyakoff:
57 In short, that is kind of aliasing support. We have aliasing support
58 in MH, possibly it could be used in libmailbox as well.

64 and use them in mail.remote.
