Patch to hide passwords from the folder display

2013-09-11T02:59:52.810000Z

I noticed that when a password is specified from the command line, it shows up in the output of the folder name. This is a patch that fixes that behavior.

GSSAPI support

2010-11-19T18:53:20Z

I merged in some code from the offlineimap project to enable gssapi support. It will attempt this first and then revert to other authentications methods if it fails.

I needed to disable the root seteuid functionality so I wrote the attached patch.

archivemail needs to preserve IMAP dummy message

2008-10-30T23:24:05Z

archivemail will happily delete the dummy message that IMAP servers place in mbox files to keep track of the next UID. This isn't the end of the world, but it is mildly unpleasant.

This simple patch will preserve this message. (A more rigorous implemention might ensure that this is the first message in the file.)

Enjoy,

recursively archive all mails from an imap server

2008-03-18T23:36:40Z

Hi,
I thought, it would be nice, if archivemail could automatically archive messages from all folders in an imap server. This could for example be used for migrating all mails from one imap-server to another server.

Attached is my first try to achieve this. I am not sure, how stable it is, especially the naming of the final archive could probably be improved and I am not sure how well this works with other imap servers beside cyrus, with which I've tested it.

Greetings,
C.Brabandt

empty Maildir fix for Python 2.5

2008-01-24T14:44:14Z

when archiving an empty maildir an assertion is generated

this patch fixes that

Allow writing to world-writable directory with sticky bit

2008-01-18T16:58:11Z

Current behavior:
If the destination directory is world-writable, halt.

New behavior:
If the destination directory is world-writable, then proceed only if the directory's sticky bit is set.

Rationale:
If the destination directory is world-writable with the sticky bit set, then only the user who owns the archived file (or the owner of the directory) can delete it. From the user's perspective, it's equivalent to the directory not being world-writable, so there's no need for concern.

I'm including an svn diff of the quick change. If you'd like this another way, just let me know.

Thanks!

Tim

Archive DSpam identified mail.

2007-12-18T11:37:39Z

Checks the message headers for the DSPAM-Confidence tag, and acts on the confidence values.

The quarantined files in /var/dspam/mail/dspam.mbox tend to grow large, and generally messages which are tagged at 58% and above are true spam.

These files can be deleted.

So the modifications to archive mails in this patch does these things:

1) New option: spam_confidence
2) Command line flag: --spam=NUM
3) Sets minimum date >= 0 (instead of 1), so I can delete messages within the day
4) in should_archive, does the check between the message spam confidence and the option spam confidence threshold

I can then cronjob archivemail to clear off all the true spams, and this works well.

BTW, thanks for this utility.

yk.

detect imap folder-seperator

2007-11-06T11:30:41Z

Hi,
I just looked around the debian BTS and saw bug 368112.
Attached is a patch, that will make archivemail trying to use a different folder-separator, if selecting the folder fails.

look at received header

2007-07-31T19:27:54Z

Hi,
and another patch, that will make archivemail aware of the Received Header. using the --received-date switch will make archivemail look at the first received header in the message to decide, whether to archive the mail or not.

Thanks,
Christian
