@BEOS Mail Daemon Replacement v2.2.0 Beta 1

BEEP! THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM.

KNOWN BUGS AND UPDATE DANGERS

There are a few bugs in this version of the Mail Daemon Replacement. (Would this be a beta otherwise?) We will only admit that two of them are bugs, but the rest are things that you really should be aware of.

BUGS:

1) Your inbox *must* be on your boot disk. We'll have a fix for this soon (or perhaps not), but be aware of this. If you don't, you will soon start seeing errors about cross-device links (it initially creates the mail files in /tmp and then moves them to inbox) and all your mail will be deleted. Don't say we didn't warn you. The e-mail monster is hiding in a cross-device link. Don't bring him out!

2) Sometimes the new message count is wrong.  Quit and restart the daemon if this upsets you.  This is due to a BeOS BFS queries bug, which we can't fix, since it's in the kernel. When OpenBFS is released (or so says BGA), this will cease to be a problem. You may praise or curse BGA at your leisure for either fixing it or for taking so long. Your choice.

3) The soonness of the dates mentioned in this file is greatly exaggerated. Please volunteer to fix bugs to correct this.


IT'S NOT A BUG, IT'S A FEATURE:

1) If you were using IMAP before version 2.1, and use IMAP now, it will redownload all your messages. There's nothing I can do to stop it. But it will only do it once. And you can set it to only download the headers now, which is a good thing, right? I mean, you don't need to redownload the 15 MB of baby pictures from your Aunt Martha again, now do you?

2) Also with regard to IMAP, partial messages moved into an IMAP account from another account will only be partially uploaded. And, as moving them into the IMAP account usually involves moving them *from* another account, which may result in their deletion, you may lose the body of the message entirely. So download them first. This does not apply to partial messages moved to another folder of the same account.

3) The settings in things like Postmaster and the old e-mail prefs that used the settings of the old mail daemon will no longer be able to save settings. They will however be able to read them, since we were nice and added that feature. But what are you doing using Postmaster anyway?

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. WE WILL NOW RETURN TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM. BEEP!

3) There may be some difficulties with using multiple filters. This is an unconfirmed issue, so we won't actually say that it exists. It might, though. And if it does exist, we'll fix by the next release. Probably.

1) The settings file format has changed since pre-beta version 2, and drastically since version 1. Therefore you will be obliged to re-enter your settings if upgrading from a version 2 alpha or earlier. Sorry. But you had to for the last release, too, and since this is a bug fix for that, it will never happen again. We promise.
d22 1
a22 1
2) The settings file thing means that if you had "Leave Mail On Server" set, then the mail daemon will redownload every single message on the server. This is the last time it will happen! Really! As a consolation, mail fetch should be slightly faster with this option on than before.

4) Most of the addon names have changed. They are nice and friendly now, so don't get scared.

5) There may be some difficulties with using multiple filters. This is an unconfirmed issue, so we won't actually say that it exists. It might, though. And if it does exist, we'll fix by the next release. Probably.

6) BeMail will crash on startup if you have a too-old preferences file for it. Go and delete /boot/home/config/settings/Mail_data to fix this. Yes, we should be using a flattened BMessage rather than raw binary for the preferences.

@Added support for files with line ends of LF as well as the existing
standard CRLF.  Also better error and EOF handling in readfoldedline.
Also redid the MIME component reader as part of the LF/CRLF ability
(tried fixing it up, but it got too awkward).  Also fixed a crash bug
where it can't read malformed mail because it makes an empty
sub-component, which then crashes when converted to a BString.

3) You can't copy the To: field of a received message to the clipboard. This is a really bizarre bug, and we can't figure it why it's there. It's not that we don't care. Really. Or that we're stupid. A prize of, um, something to whoever fixes this!

4) On x86 net_server machines, mail_daemon can crash when you shutdown your system. Although it may be annoying, it doesn't harm your system. This will hopefully be fixed soon. Hopefully.

@Updated "DANGER..." to include the crashing bug with the net_server.
The mail daemon now can fetch and send mail from only a selection of
chains, all you have to do is to add the chain's ID in the message, e.g.
BMessage msg('mnow'); msg.AddInt32("chain",7);
Will only fetch mail from the chain with ID 7.
Fixed a memory leak in mail_daemon (BLists were allocated but never freed,
they are now on the stack).
