I am still using Thunderbird version 59 due to some issues with calendar handling and my understanding, limited as it might be, is that while Thunderbird can use Maildir format, there may be bugs. Am I correct that the filename of message files when using Maildir is not critical (although it must end with the part for the status of the message), iow the first part does not really matter?

Trying to compile isync on MacOs fails due to an odd situation that MacOs reports fdatasync exists when running the configure but in fact it doesn't exist giving me sync.c:45:62: error: implicit declaration of function 'fdatasync' [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration] and sync.c:1207:8: error: implicit declaration of function 'fdatasync' [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration] Do you have a workaround for that? /henrik ___ isync-devel mailing list isync-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/isync-devel
