From 8b0814aa4eca15297eb1ffe7c30ee22bb8c3a7af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias Andree Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:15:18 +0000 Subject: Fix IMAP IDLE and untagged (* ...) response parser, by Sunil Shetye. The IMAP client no longer skips messages from several IMAP servers including Dovecot if fetchmail's "idle" is in use. Causes were that fetchmail (a) ignored some untagged responses when it should not (b) relied on EXISTS messages in response to EXPUNGE, which aren't mandated by RFC-3501 (the IMAP standard) and aren't sent by Dovecot either. Fix by Sunil Shetye (the fix also consolidates IMAP response handling, improving overall robustness of the IMAP client), bug report and testing by Matt Doran, with further hints from Timo Sirainen. svn path=/branches/BRANCH_6-3/; revision=5459 --- NEWS | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 1ff64180..d39ea062 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -49,6 +49,16 @@ removed from a 6.4.0 or newer release.) fetchmail 6.3.14 (not yet released): +# BUG FIXES +* The IMAP client no longer skips messages from several IMAP servers including + Dovecot if fetchmail's "idle" is in use.
