I just tried 1.0.3 (at last) and to be honnest I am slightly 
disappointed. I found a few behavioral differences:
  1) when User was not specified, 0.9.2 used the name of the user 
     running isync; 1.0.3 fails;
  2) when a message is deleted localy, 0.9.2 redownloads it while 1.0.3 
     deletes it remotely;
  3) the MaxMessages option does not work at all.

1) is not much of an issue, since one can easily add a User option to 
~/.isyncrc.
2) might be confusing. I guess not that many users delete a message 
and expect it to be redownloaded, but those who do would experience data 
loss.
3) is a major regression for me, since I have some huge IMAP mailboxes 
and use isync to keep a local copy of the latest messages of each 
mailbox on my (very space-limited) laptop.

Unless I am missing something, I don't think it would be a good idea to 
replace the old isync with the new one. On the other hand, adding a new 
package would be an option, but both would have /usr/bin/isync and hence 
have to conflict.


Cheers,

Nicolas
