What is so extreme about what I am doing?
isync's purpose is to keep both sides in sync. MaxMessages is a
deviation from that. when you push that number down to zero, that's
_literally_ extreme, and you've gone from syncing to fetching.
Well, yes. But I meant more in the programming sense. Why would reducing
MaxMessages result in a higher likelyhood of something going wrong, and
e.g messages being lost?
because MaxMessage doesn't really fit the basic scheme, its
implementation actually comes at a rather significant cost in
complexity; it's easily the most difficult part of the whole codebase.
i don't know if it would be difficult to make it support zero; it
might just work with a few minor changes. patches (with autotests)
welcome.
I wee. I will take a look. But be careful what you wish for: the last
time I wrote C code was right after reading K&R... and just before the
Yahoo IPO.
