From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:18:09 +0000 From: Eris Discordia To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans@9fans.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="==========BB92604CF88C22975A3C==========" Subject: Re: [9fans] gmail imap Topicbox-Message-UUID: 4fad21f0-ead4-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 --==========BB92604CF88C22975A3C========== Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline I don't know about the technical details but I have tried GMail's IMAP and it seems to work fine with mainstream clients--I've tested Microsoft Office Outlook (2003 and 2007), Mozilla Thunderbird, Cyrus Daboo's Mulberry (which is my preferred client), and Pegasus Mail. Of these I know for certain that Mulberry and Pegasus Mail haven't been rigged to work with GMail. Others report GMail working fine with the fetchmail/getmail + mutt/pine/alpine combinations often used on UNIX clones. Do my postings contain extra or missing carriage returns? Have you tried their IMAPS on port 993? I have included the header of the message you have sent to 9fans as seen by Mulberry. Something about upas: someone on the list said their upas configured to use GMail downloaded _all_ message headers in one go. That's bad behavior, similar to MSO Outlook and Thunderbird, and bound to cause long delays on slower and less reliable connections or with large mailboxes (GMail's custom "labels" amount to mailboxes in IMAP and they can get pretty large, my 9fans archive contains over 5500 messages now). Mulberry fetches only enough message headers to fill its current view. When you change the view it fetches the required headers. --On Friday, November 21, 2008 12:21 PM -0500 erik quanstrom wrote: > there definately is a bug in gmail's imap > > 3 uid fetch 29 (rfc822.size) > * 29 FETCH (UID 29 RFC822.SIZE 1234) > 3 OK Success > 3 uid fetch 29 (body[]) > * 29 FETCH (UID 29 BODY[] {1246} > [...] > > oops. the obvious bug, that the body of the email > is 1246 - 1234 lines long and they forgot to count > the s added by the protocol doesn't check > because the body is 7 lines long. neither is the > header 12 lines long. > > - erik > > --==========BB92604CF88C22975A3C========== Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; name="header.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="header.txt"; size=2260 Delivered-To: eris.discordia@gmail.com Received: by 10.210.59.7 with SMTP id h7cs521467eba; Fri, 21 Nov 2008 = 09:38:35 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.65.240.16 with SMTP id s16mr664257qbr.59.1227289115397; = Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:38:35 -0800 (PST) Return-Path: <9fans-bounces+eris.discordia=3Dgmail.com@9fans.net> Received: from gouda.swtch.com (gouda.swtch.com [67.207.142.3]) by mx.google.com with ESMTP id e17si1358587qba.1.2008.11.21.09.38.34; Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:38:35 -0800 (PST) Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of 9fans-bounces+eris.discordia=3Dgmail.com@9fans.net designates 67.207.142.3 = as permitted sender) client-ip=3D67.207.142.3; Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=3Dpass (google.com: domain of 9fans-bounces+eris.discordia=3Dgmail.com@9fans.net designates 67.207.142.3 = as permitted sender) = smtp.mail=3D9fans-bounces+eris.discordia=3Dgmail.com@9fans.net Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=3Dgouda.swtch.com) by = gouda.swtch.com with esmtp (Exim 4.67) (envelope-from <9fans-bounces@9fans.net>) id 1L3Zpe-0008I4-4i; Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:30:14 +0000 Received: from ladd.quanstro.net ([69.55.170.73]) by gouda.swtch.com with esmtp (Exim 4.67) (envelope-from ) id = 1L3ZpS-0008Hl-TN for 9fans@9fans.net; Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:30:03 +0000 Message-ID: To: 9fans@9fans.net From: erik quanstrom Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:21:05 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3D"US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: [9fans] gmail imap X-BeenThere: 9fans@9fans.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9 Precedence: list Reply-To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans@9fans.net> List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.9fans.net> List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: 9fans-bounces@9fans.net Errors-To: 9fans-bounces+eris.discordia=3Dgmail.com@9fans.net --==========BB92604CF88C22975A3C==========--
