Great, thanks. I've applied this and had some fun merging it with the folder omit stuff I've been writing this week. Currently it's still on a branch because I want to do some playing around with it before merging it onto the mainline. The GNU arch revision containing the merged tree is [EMAIL PROTECTED]/mairix--safemfolder--20050303--patch-4 (the mairix webpage has info about where to register the archive from, if this is of any interest to you.) Also (just to warn you!), I'm perhaps going to add a config file option to disable the mfolder validation, although the default will be to leave it on, of course. I'll find out whether I want to do this when I do some empirical testing. (My concern is whether the I/O operations required to expand the ... constructions are going to slow down search mode significantly.) As long as the directory metadata is in memory I doubt there is a problem. I'm worried about the case where it has to be read from disc on a low-memory box more than anything. We'll see anyway. > I also updated the comments in mairix.c on 'notes on folder > management' to agree with what I thought the code did, but check that > I explained it right. Looks better than it was - the comments had obviously decayed out of sync with the code. -- Richard P.
