Hi folks, Patch 3847d0ba9 introduced IMAP IDLE support, and with it switched from Python's built-in imaplib.py to imaplib2.py. I have received numerous reports of all sorts of hanging and crashing bugs new to 6.1.0, and believe that they are attributable to this change.
Therefore, I am strongly considering reverting that change, but am open to feedback. The bug reports I believe are tied to this include: Crashes with _deliver_exc stacktrace (bug in imaplib2.py) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=536329 http://software.complete.org/software/issues/show/174 Crashes during sync (string index out of range) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=536156 OfflineIMAP-6.1.1 often stalls while syncing http://software.complete.org/software/issues/show/176 Sync hangs without any kind of error message http://lists.complete.org/offlinei...@complete.org/2009/07/msg00013.html.gz I would probably revert: 17ec4df02a8d1440aac5634b2516555a5f841046 8cd2bdf7f5075006773a639a7d43fb1461bdf235 3847d0ba9d17f42cbb4ae15ea9cfb97aca2029ca plus whatever else is needed.
