Hello uw-imap list! I've been lurking here for a while, mainly to follow the development of the new (and promising) mix format. Been using uw-imap for almost 10 years now ; firstly because it was default in most Linux distros, then because of the linuxconf "vimap" patch (which provided a nice virtual email system), and now because of the mix support. I've always liked the "out-of-the-box" uw-imap approach, and I'm happy to see you are following up the problems with huge mailboxes by introducing the mix format - so thanks a lot for all the hard work you have done during the years :)
Now to my question. The company I work for is currently rewriting the IMAP engine in one of our products, and we are trying to follow the RFC specs as strictly as possible. One of our developers noticed something he belive is incompatible with RFC 4315 , and asked me to bring it up on this list. Here is what he said: " The problem I'm seeing is that that the COPYUID responses look like this: 000J OK [UID COPYUID 1149863339 197179,197183 35:36] UID COPY completed while according to RFC 4315 they're supposed to look like this: 000J OK [COPYUID 1149863339 197179,197183 35:36] UID COPY completed i.e. without the 'UID' at the start of the response code. As you can understand, this makes it incompatible with a strictly RFC-compliant parser. " I'm not a coder or IMAP protocol expert, so I'm hoping someone here can answer his question. Did he read the RFC wrong, or is it a bug? We're currently running uw-imap 2006i btw. cheers, /Stein _______________________________________________ Imap-uw mailing list Imap-uw@u.washington.edu https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw
