Hello all As I suggested earlier, it would be nice if "reconstruct" had a mechanism in which the "X-Status" flag could be parsed and applied so that the "Read/Replied/Important/..." flags could be kept when doing a migration from UW-IMAP (or such).
Someone on this list replied that it was a good idea, and a patch could be warranted for this functionality. I'd like to ask what the status of that is, and how I may help. Secondly, it seems to me that a drawback from cyrus not keeping the X-Status flags (for efficiency, and I understand this) is that if the databases are corrupted, the state of a user's mailbox is lost completely and all mails are re-marked as "unread". So - would there be any negative impact to adding to Cyrus-IMAP the ability to mirror the bits in the index database for these status flags in an X-Status header, for added robustnes (at the potential cost of a performance hit when viewing e-mail). Basically, "reconstruct -x" could now rebuild the "entirety" of the state information for mailbox indexes. Would this be viable (as a default-off option even)? Who would I coordinate with to help in this regard?
