Hello: I've been playing around with pop3, and I'm wondering if we can improve its usability by adding a "last NNN messages" pseudo-folder. Currently, if someone wants to access the git mailing list archive via pop3, they have to do the following:
- know that the username should be $(uuidgen)@org.kernel.vger.git.1 (the default username would access slice 0, right? Or is it the last 50,000 messages?) - wait for their client to retrieve tens of thousands of unread messages on first access - if the remote archive rolls over to the next slice, they have to edit their account info to get new messages (unless I'm wrong about #1) Perhaps the default could be slightly different: - $(uuidgen)@org.kernel.vger.git would start with an empty view (or something like the last 10 messages) - it would only get any new messages added to the archive I think this would be a friendlier experience, but not sure how difficult it would be to implement. I'm also not 100% sure all my assumptions are correct, so please feel free to correct me. Best wishes, -K
