I was able to expunge via telnet. Both with the UID statement, and with the simplier
A101 EXPUNGE So now I am wondering why is evolution adding the UID and ranges? Looking at the RFC "UID EXPUNGE" is not a legitimate command (Only COPY, FETCH, or STORE). OK strike that, under RFC2539, there is an extension to UID. Looking at the server responses: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS X-NON-HIERARCHICAL-RENAME NO_ATOMIC_RENAME AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 UNSELECT ID UIDPLUS is listed. So now I wonder if the message range is "too big" for cyrus, I mean it is 1760 chars big. Or is it evolution not waiting long enough? At a minimum it seems like evolution needs to look for the BAD response and then either send a full expunge, or send partial lists. It might be nicer to allow the user to day "expunge these deleted notes." So looking around I see other people with this error: ... > command\r\n > Is Entourage using a non-standard IMAP command or one not implemented in > Communigate? It's "half-standard", it was there, but due to our error it was removed. Please see: 3.5.2 05-Jan-02 Bug Fix: IMAP: 3.5x versions did not support the UID EXPUNGE command. So, plz upgrade to 3.5.2 or later. ... According to RFC2359 if the server does not support the UID EXPUNGE the client is supposed to fall back to STOR or old EXPUNGE command. So it looks like Entourage is not falling back. Yes? ... http://asg.web.cmu.edu/rfc/rfc2359.html#sec-4.1 4.1 UID EXPUNGE Command Arguments: message set Data: untagged responses: EXPUNGE Result: OK - expunge completed NO - expunge failure (e.g. permission denied) BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid Page 3 The UID EXPUNGE command permanently removes from the currently selected mailbox all messages that both have the \Deleted flag set and have a UID that is included in the specified message set. If a message either does not have the \Deleted flag set or is has a UID that is not included in the specified message set, it is not affected. This command may be used to ensure that a replayed EXPUNGE command does not remove any messages that have been marked as \Deleted between the time that the user requested the expunge operation and the time the server processes the command. If the server does not support the UIDPLUS capability, the client should fall back to using the STORE command to temporarily remove the \Deleted flag from messages it does not want to remove. The client could alternatively fall back to using the EXPUNGE command, risking the unintended removal of some messages. Example: C: A003 UID EXPUNGE 3000:3002 S: * 3 EXPUNGE S: * 3 EXPUNGE S: * 3 EXPUNGE S: A003 OK UID EXPUNGE completed >From http://asg.web.cmu.edu/rfc/rfc1730.html#sec-6.3.1 6.4.9 UID Command Arguments: command name command arguments Data: untagged responses: FETCH, SEARCH Result: OK - UID command completed NO - UID command error BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid The UID command has two forms. In the first form, it takes as its arguments a COPY, FETCH, or STORE command with arguments appropriate for the associated command. However, the numbers in the message set argument are unique identifiers instead of message sequence numbers. 6.4.3 EXPUNGE Command Arguments: none Data: untagged responses: EXPUNGE Result: OK - expunge completed NO - expunge failure: can't expunge (e.g. permission denied) BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid The EXPUNGE command permanently removes from the currently selected mailbox all messages that have the \Deleted flag set. Before returning an OK to the client, an untagged EXPUNGE response is sent for each message that is removed. Example: C: A202 EXPUNGE S: * 3 EXPUNGE S: * 3 EXPUNGE S: * 5 EXPUNGE S: * 8 EXPUNGE S: A202 OK EXPUNGE completed Note: in this example, messages 3, 4, 7, and 11 had the \Deleted flag set. See the description of the EXPUNGE response for further explanation. -- Zot O'Connor http://www.ZotConsulting.com http://www.WhiteKnightHackers.com -- Zot O'Connor http://www.ZotConsulting.com http://www.WhiteKnightHackers.com _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
