Dear Maintainer,
Outlook Office365 IMAP servers now expect a client to issue at least one
EXAMINE before STATUS, or UNSEEN is always zero:
"unsub" folder has two messages, one unseen.
Broken:
56:04.84 > CJFK1 LOGIN "nyet@xxx" "xxx"
56:21.99 < CJFK1 OK LOGIN completed.
56:21.99 > CJFK2 STATUS unsub (MESSAGES UNSEEN)
56:22.20 < * STATUS unsub (MESSAGES 2 UNSEEN 0)
56:22.20 < CJFK2 OK STATUS completed.
Works:
56:46.04 > BPEB1 LOGIN "nyet@xxx" "xxx"
56:51.43 < BPEB1 OK LOGIN completed.
56:51.43 > BPEB2 EXAMINE unsub
56:51.67 < * 2 EXISTS
56:51.67 < * 0 RECENT
56:51.67 < * FLAGS (\Seen \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft $MDNSent)
56:51.67 < * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Permanent flags
56:51.67 < * OK [UNSEEN 2] Is the first unseen message
56:51.67 < * OK [UIDVALIDITY 164] UIDVALIDITY value
56:51.67 < * OK [UIDNEXT 16] The next unique identifier value
56:51.67 < BPEB2 OK [READ-ONLY] EXAMINE completed.
56:51.67 > BPEB3 STATUS unsub (MESSAGES UNSEEN)
56:51.89 < * STATUS unsub (MESSAGES 2 UNSEEN 1)
56:51.89 < BPEB3 OK STATUS completed.
Attached is a patch to always issue EXAMINE before a STATUS.
It doesn't seem like it has to be done before every STATUS, just at least once.
Is only a proof of concept. I don't presume to know the best way to handle
optimizing it.
