While it seems you can examine once and keep calling status (violates
RFC), if you close before calling status, it doesn't work.. you have to
keep calling examine/close before each status
So three choices:
RFC broken 2 ways (status while folder is open, using status to count
UNSEEN):
login
examine
while 1
status (MESSAGES UNSEEN)
done
Fully RFC compliant:
login
examine
while 1
search(SEEN)
search(UNSEEN)
done
or
Somewhat RFC broken (uses status to count UNSEEN)
login
while 1
examine
close
status (MESSAGES UNSEEN)
done
The downside to search is that the results might be very long for a
large mailbox with many, many messages, and that result has to be split up.
I was wondering if you had any updates about this bug.
Is violating RFC3501 a dealbreaker? Should wmbiff use search, or should
we go ahead and release a version with your original patch to fix the bug?
Thanks again!
