Q. Give me some design ideas of imapsync

R.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* No configuration file
|
|
|
|
|
* Stateless
|
|
|
|
|
* Rsync in mind
|
|
|
|
|
* Reliable
|
|
|
|
|
* Robuste
|
|
|
|
|
* The user is not an expert, help him with:
|
|
|
|
|
* Good behavior by default.
|
|
|
|
|
* No harm by default.
|
|
|
|
|
* Prefer fixing an issue in the code than documenting the issue
|
|
|
|
|
* Inline help suggestions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consequences of those design ideas:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Stateless:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A sync can be done by another tool before or after imapsync, it is
|
|
|
|
|
safe as long as the other tools don't modify the messages' headers
|
|
|
|
|
"Message-Id:" and "Received:", or at least "Message-Id:".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Ready to run in a container.
