Subject: Maintaining the list of existing articles for nnimap
Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:16:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8762fq4p25.fsf@gnus.org> (raw)
I was thinking about finally implementing keeping track of existing
articles in IMAP folders. This requires that all nnimap groups that
don't have this data do a complete refresh (once), which might be slow,
but that's OK.
The bigger problem is that if you start Ma Gnus, get the
`(exist (100 . 200))' data in your newsrc, and then start No Gnus, which
doesn't update this, and then start Ma Gnus again, then Ma Gnus will
think that the articles that arrived while you were using No Gnus
doesn't exist.
That's no fun.
Hm... Gnus could check whether `gnus-newsrc-file-version' is less than
Ma Gnus, and if so, it could delete all `exists' parameters from the
.newsrc.eld, and let Ma Gnus re-sync the data. That would solve the
problem, but be quite slow if one is switching back and forth a lot...
Hm... I dunno...
