Getmail

19 June 2004

-fix the retrieve-every-other-message bug when delete == True.
-move base classes out of retrievers.py into _retrieverbases.py
-fix exception when retrieving mail from an empty IMAP account

19 June 2004

-accidentally edited initialize() in the wrong class; it broke POP3.
This update should fix it.

18 June 2004

-fix 6 instances of getmailConfirurationError typo in retrievers.py
-finish basics of IMAP support -- i.e., it successfully retrieves mail.
delete might not work yet. IMAP-over-SSL /might/, but the server I was
testing against wasn't working with SSL (no connection).
-handle email.Utils.getaddresses returning None. Thanks: Frankye Fattarelli.
-fix default port for MultidropPOP3SSLRetriever.

-debug and rewrite POP3-over-SSL functionality. Involved writing around
some ugly limitations and kludges in Python's socket.ssl and poplib.POP3
code. But POP3-over-SSL actually works now, and is fairly clean.
Let me know if it hangs; I might need to change the way blocking mode is
handled on the underlying socket.

16 June 2004

-add pseudofile class to implement readline() and sslwrapper to implement
sendall() on ssl objects.
ssl objects in Python don't behave like a file, or like a socket; they're just
... broken. It's a deficiency in the Python standard library.
This might make POP3-over-SSL work, or it might need more work yet. I've
got it talking some SSL, but it hangs at the moment. Might be blocking
in read().
-move Mboxrd file locking to _deliver_message(). Thanks: Frankye Fattarelli.
-make --trace more useful and add extra debug info to main script.
-eliminate noise from defaults in non-[options] section processing
-found Python's ConfigParser .getboolean() method failed when the passed-in
default was a non-string. Maybe I should have stayed with my own
replacement configuration parser, as it properly handled this case ...
submitted a patch to the Python bug tracker and added a workaround to
getmail for the moment.
-/really/ enable delete and read_all in [options] of rc file.

-document tuple syntax. Thanks: Frankye Fattarelli.
-fix "filters" name collision in script. Thanks: Frankye Fattarelli.
