-[mailbox or mailbox2]
+* mailbox
-IMPORTANT:
- There is currently a rewrite of the mailbox called mailbox2 to address
- some of the flaws of the old version.
+** Generic search interface
-- generalized search interface
+** Maildir support
-[mail.local]
+** iterator_t is very ineffective. Traversing the list from iterator_first()
+till iterator_is_done() takes O(n*(n+1)/2) time units, where n is
+number of elements in the list. To reduce this to O(n), iterator_t
+must keep the address of the last visited item in the list.
-- can it append to an imap mailbox?
+** Locking
-[pop3]
+*** Implement a read/write locker_lock() flag so that when MU_LOCKER_WRONLY
+is set in the locker flags, only write locks actually lock the file,
+read locks don't do anything.
-- pop3d_readline - should this use select(), avoid the race condition,
- and touch the lockfile in time intervals smaller than
- MU_LOCKER_EXPIRE_TIME?
+*** implement mailbox_lock() and mailbox_unlock() shortcut functions.
-[imap4d]
+*** what kind of locking should mh use? See FIXME in mbx_mh.c
-- support of mailspools in user home directory, particularly when
- they are in maildir format (I think qmail does this).
+*** why does mimetest fail on a symlink, but suceed on a dotlocked file?
-- Check interaction with various imap clients. Currently tested with:
- mail (from mailutils itself), mutt, pine, netscape, mozilla.
+*** implement a force unlock mode... so that when a mailbox
+is closed or destroyed it can make sure that the lock
+is definitely gone.
-- Better support of multi-access mailbox
+** argcv.c should unescape strings as well as unquote them
-- implement charsets in search: 1 SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-2 TEXT ...
+** write a fnmatch() that doesn't respect []
-- implement AUTHENTICATE KERBEROS_V4 and SKEY and CRAM-MD5 and SRP?
+** select needed
-[mail]
+** mailboxes don't remember whether or not they've been opened
-- Add support for /etc/mailcap.
+** print errors to a debug object, by default
-[mailbox]
+** does IMAP do an EXAMINE instead of a select if the mailbox is being
+opened readonly? Does list return whether a mailbox is readonly?
+Check against CMUs anon server, it is a read-only mailbox.

- till iterator_is_done() takes O(n*(n+1)/2), where n is number of elements

+** mu_cpystr - the size_t* size outputs only give strlen(), not the
+actual length?
-- locking:
+** need code to find a "real" envelope from... an actual email address
+that DSNs can be sent to.
- - implement a read/write locker_lock() flag so that when MU_LOCKER_WRONLY
- is set in the locker flags, only write locks actually lock the file,
- read locks don't do anything.
+** need to be able to map some addresses (like mail to "root") to a
+user for the box, a la nullmailer, perhaps
- - implement mailbox_lock() and mailbox_unlock() shortcut functions.
+** mailer_t: the SMTP mailer isn't as fully implemented as the sendmail
+mailer.
- - what kind of locking should mh use? See FIXME in mbx_mh.c
+** make the smtp mailer calls usable standalone, as well as url based,
+and use them in mail.remote.
- - why does mimetest fail on a symlink, but suceed on a dotlocked file?
+** header_get_value() returns the newline?
- - implement a force unlock mode... so that when a mailbox
- is closed or destroyed it can make sure that the lock
- is definitely gone.
+** implement a header_field_unfold()?
-- lib/argcv.c should unescape strings as well as unquote them
+** pipe_open_stream() - implemented with popen()
-- write a fnmatch() that doesn't respect []
+** support AUTH=anonymous (imap://cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu/archive.info-cyrus)

+* pop3

+** pop3d_readline - should this use select(), avoid the race condition,

-- mu_cpystr - the size_t* size outputs only give strlen(), not the

+** Better support of multi-access mailbox
-- finish mh mailbox support (they don't have a folder yet)
+** implement charsets in search: 1 SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-2 TEXT ...
-- need code to find a "real" envelope from... an actual email address
- that DSNs can be sent to.

+** Add support for /etc/mailcap
-- make the smtp mailer calls useable standalone, as well as url based,
- and use them in mail.remote.
+* Mailcap API
-- header_get_value() returns the newline?
+The framework is implemented. Needs extensive testing.
-- implement a header_field_unfold()?
+* Mime.types API
-- pipe_open_stream() - implemented with popen()
+* libmuauth
-+ Configuration API
+** First argument to mu_auth_fp (and second one to mu_auth_runlist) should
+be struct mu_auth_data ** instead of void *.
-- Mailcap API
+* examples
-- Mime.types API
+** unify the mbox-* and mimetest examples with messages, it would be nice
+to have a general purpose tool
-+ A ticket file format allowing specification of different authentication
- information for different mailboxes.
+* mh -- see mh/TODO
-- imap4 client login referals
+* sieve
-- imap4 client mailbox referals
+** Implement boolean shortcut evaluation for `allof' and `anyof'
-- Maildir mailbox support
+** uid isn't good to identify messages, use message-id?
-+ support AUTH=anonymous (imap://cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu/archive.info-cyrus)
+** run as daemon, sieveing mail on arrival (need interface for notification
+of message arrival, this is supported by imap, but we'll have to fake
+for pop and local spools my polling, why can't you select() on a unix
+file?)
-[libmuauth]
+NOTE: Do we need it? mail.local already provides this functionality.
-- First argument to mu_auth_fp (and second one to mu_auth_runlist) should
- be struct mu_auth_data ** instead of void *.
+* utilities
-[examples]
+** forward only MTA, nullmailer like, but accepting SMTP on 25 from localhost
-- unify the mbox-* and mimetest examples with messages, it would be nice
- to have a general purpose tool
+** utility to move all mail from one mailbox to another, like mbox to
+IMAP, preserving all flags that are possible. can sieve do this, or do
+I need a mbox-copy() utility?
-[mh]
+** file viewer, based on the mimetypes api. I want to do a "v foo.blah",
+have it look up .blah in mime.types, and do the action spec'ed in mailcap.
-- see mh/TODO
+** all
-[sieve]
+* add nightly build
-- Implement boolean shortcut evaluation for `allof' and `anyof'
+* add more features
-- uid isn't good to identify messages, use message-id?
+* optimize everything
-- run as daemon, sieveing mail on arrival (need interface for notification
- of message arrival, this is supported by imap, but we'll have to fake

+* test everything
-[utilities]
+* util_strcasestr() from mail/util.c provides the same functionality
+as i_ascii_casemap_contains() from libsieve/comparator. Merge both
+versions.
