Hi, we've received the following feature request for Net-IMAP-Simple in the Debian bug tracker. Cheers, gregor ----- Forwarded message from Michelle Konzack <linux4michelle@tamay-dogan.net> ----- From: Michelle Konzack <linux4michelle@tamay-dogan.net> To: BTS <submit@bugs.debian.org> Subject: Bug#502872: Please support "copy" with a bunch of messages Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2008 14:28:47 +0200 Reply-To: Michelle Konzack <linux4michelle@tamay-dogan.net>, 502872@bugs.debian.org Package: libnet-imap-simple-perl Severity: wishlist Hello Maintainers, Please forwarg this to Upstream. The IMAP protocol allow to send a list of messages to the IMAP server which should be "copied" or "deleted". Net::IMAP::Simple allow only copying or deleting of a singel message which lead to the hell of an overhead to the IMAP server (in my case it is courier). If passed a list to the "copy" or "delete" command and an error occurs, the command has to stop and give in the error the message number back, which lead to the error. The program has then to parse the original messages number string to find out which messages has been passed and which not. $imap->delete( "$string_of_message_numbers" ); $imap->copy( "$string_of_message_numbers" , $mailbox ); Since I am currently coding a new IMAP client based on Perl, I like to see this feature as fast as posibel.

the Debian bug tracker. I know it's almost a year later, but I just inherited this module. So, for whatever it's worth: Show quoted text

This is false. I don't think I fixed it, but it's certainly possible. The module doesn't parse the "message number" at all, so it's possible to pass sequence sets to most of the functions that take a message number argument. The documentation will reflect this in short order. But it works right now, and it's proved in the t/22 tests (new). Show quoted text

You can also use this notation to see what did (and what did not) get blown away: my @expunged_numbers = $imap->expunge_mailbox; Show quoted text

> $imap->copy( "3,9,7:22" , $mailbox );

No problem, thanks for taking the time to look into the issue and pass along the information! Show quoted text

Great, I'll add it to the bug report in Debian and ... Show quoted text

... will close the Debian bug when we upload a new version with the documentation.

Excellent news, thanks. (This note is because replying re-opens a ticket and I'm closing it again.) -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 109 jumps, 44.4 minutes of freefall, 85.0 freefall miles.
