| Subject: | Strange behaviour of fetch_hash() method |
Hi,
I find that the method fetch_hash() throws a bunch of warnings on the
console if the currently selected folder does not contain any messages.
Here is the subfunction I use, which you will find very straightforward:
sub OutputFolderSize {
# WARNINGS:
# * will return 0 on error
# * may change the folder that is currently selected
# * the fetch_hash method will output eight warnings if $folder is empty
my ($imap, $folder) = @_;
$imap->examine($folder)
or return 0;
my $allsum = 0;
my %hash = $imap->fetch_hash("RFC822.SIZE");
foreach my $key (keys(%hash)) {
$allsum += $hash{$key}{"RFC822.SIZE"};
}
return $allsum;
}
Apart from that: I love your module, we are using it to its limits in an
effort to do bulk user migration from Exchange to SunONE. Should we find
any more behaviours under stress load you will definitely hear from us.
BTW: you would not happen to know of a way to determine the type of an
IMAP folder on Exchange (task, mail, journal, contact, note,
appointment)..? AFAWK there is no way to do it with RFC protocols :(
take care
Sebastian
