Subject: Regarding imap kio slave
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kmail-devel&m=97680310909416

Just encountered some 'minor' problems:

Beware if you use procmail and an imap server (in my case uw-imap).

Using procmail to deliver the mail into different imap folders on the
server is NOT working in a proper fashion. On the next status or
select the server might notice that somebody has been playing
with its mailboxes and will assign a new uidvalidity to the box.
He will reassign a new validity each time the box is handled until
it is opened in read-write mode and can be updated by the server.
The kio slave is not opening it in read-write mode normally.
That will get the slave a new uid validity on each new select or status.
All urls provided by the slave are then strictly speaking invalid as the
next open might turn up a new validity.
- Select the manipulated box in konqueror
- Change to another box
- Change back to first box and compare the validity

Summary: Any handling of the mailboxes by any program but the imap server
might lead to troubles (as the locking won't work it might truncate the box=
!).

New version of kio_slave won't check the status on a selected box and will
ignore the change in the validity.
