These will only work if your client is the only client that accesses the INBOX. There is no requirement that the UNSEEN and RECENT messages are at the end of the folder in general. If you want to present all UNSEEN messages and flag all the messages you download as SEEN, you could do a SEARCH UNSEEN and just fetch those messages. However, the proper thing to do if you want to present the messages when disconnected from the server is to use UIDs. To do this, you remember the highest UID you have (you can initialize to 0), and fetch everything with a higher UID. Ideally, you shouldn't cause the SEEN flag to be set until the user has actually seen the message. This requires STORE +FLAGS SEEN for those messages which have been seen since the last update. The key thing to remember is that in IMAP the server holds the authoratative list of messages and the client just holds a cache. This is a very different model from POP. ------------------------------- CUT HERE ----------------------------------- A problem with this recommendation is that the UID commands don't exist in IMAP2bis. Since we want to preserve IMAP2bis capability (so fetchmail will continue to work with the pre-IMAP4 imapd) and we've warned the user that multiple concurrent fetchmail runs are a Bad Idea, we'll stick with this logic for now. ***********************************************************************/ #include #include #include "socket.h" #include "fetchmail.h" /********************************************************************* Method declarations for IMAP *********************************************************************/ static int count, first; static int exists, unseen, recent; int imap_ok (argbuf,socket) /* parse command response */ char *argbuf; int socket; { int ok; char buf [POPBUFSIZE+1]; char *bufp; int n; do { if (SockGets(socket, buf, sizeof(buf)) < 0) return(PS_SOCKET); if (outlevel == O_VERBOSE) fprintf(stderr,"%s\n",buf); /* interpret untagged status responses */ if (strstr(buf, "EXISTS")) exists = atoi(buf+2); if (strstr(buf, "RECENT")) recent = atoi(buf+2); if (sscanf(buf + 2, "OK [UNSEEN %d]", &n) == 1) unseen = n; } while (tag[0] != '\0' && strncmp(buf, tag, strlen(tag))); if (tag[0] == '\0') { strcpy(argbuf, buf); return(0); } else { if (strncmp(buf + TAGLEN + 1, "OK", 2) == 0) { strcpy(argbuf, buf + TAGLEN); return(0); } else if (strncmp(buf + TAGLEN + 1, "BAD", 2) == 0) return(PS_ERROR); else return(PS_PROTOCOL); } } int imap_getauth(socket, queryctl, buf) /* apply for connection authorization */ int socket; struct hostrec *queryctl; char *buf; { /* try to get authorized */ return(gen_transact(socket, "LOGIN %s %s", queryctl->remotename, queryctl->password)); } static imap_getrange(socket, queryctl, countp, firstp) /* get range of messages to be fetched */ int socket; struct hostrec *queryctl; int *countp; int *firstp; { int ok; /* find out how many messages are waiting */ exists = unseen = recent = -1; ok = gen_transact(socket, "SELECT %s", queryctl->remotefolder[0] ? queryctl->remotefolder : "INBOX"); if (ok != 0) return(ok); /* compute size of message run */ *countp = exists; if (queryctl->fetchall) *firstp = 1; else { if (exists > 0 && unseen == -1) { fprintf(stderr, "no UNSEEN response; assuming all %d RECENT messages are unseen\n", recent); *firstp = exists - recent + 1; } else { *firstp = unseen; } } return(0); } static int imap_fetch(socket, number, lenp) /* request nth message */ int socket; int number; int *lenp; { char buf [POPBUFSIZE+1]; int num; gen_send(socket, "FETCH %d RFC822", number); /* looking for FETCH response */ do { if (SockGets(socket, buf,sizeof(buf)) < 0) return(PS_SOCKET); } while (sscanf(buf+2, "%d FETCH (RFC822 {%d}", &num, lenp) != 2); if (num != number) return(PS_ERROR); else return(0); } static imap_trail(socket, queryctl, number) /* discard tail of FETCH response */ int socket; struct hostrec *queryctl; int number; { char buf [POPBUFSIZE+1]; if (SockGets(socket, buf,sizeof(buf)) < 0) return(PS_SOCKET); else return(0); } static imap_delete(socket, queryctl, number) /* set delete flag for given message */ int socket; struct hostrec *queryctl; int number; { return(socket, gen_transact("STORE %d +FLAGS (\\Deleted)", number)); } static struct method imap = { "IMAP", /* Internet Message Access Protocol */ 143, /* standard IMAP2bis/IMAP4 port */ 1, /* this is a tagged protocol */ 0, /* no message delimiter */ imap_ok, /* parse command response */ imap_getauth, /* get authorization */ imap_getrange, /* query range of messages */ NULL, /* no UID check */ imap_fetch, /* request given message */ imap_trail, /* eat message trailer */ imap_delete, /* set IMAP delete flag */ "EXPUNGE", /* the IMAP expunge command */ "LOGOUT", /* the IMAP exit command */ }; int doIMAP (queryctl) /* retrieve messages using IMAP Version 2bis or Version 4 */ struct hostrec *queryctl; { return(do_protocol(queryctl, &imap)); }
