From df680c19be215c5403814bd52331f5acd012896f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikolaus Schulz Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2008 20:06:09 +0200 Subject: Append to the archive, and don't use rename() This is WIP to prepare locking for the archive. Since we no longer copy the whole archive before appending, archiving should also be faster. --- archivemail.py | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) diff --git a/archivemail.py b/archivemail.py index 1887ee1..d2d07ca 100755 --- a/archivemail.py +++ b/archivemail.py @@ -519,75 +519,55 @@ class RetainMbox(Mbox): class ArchiveMbox(Mbox): """Class for holding messages that will be archived from the original mailbox (ie. the messages that are considered 'old').
