The `:rmdir` command removes the current directory (`-f` is required if
the directory is not empty).
This is not supported on the notmuch backend.
An issue with the maildir backend is that some sync programs (e.g.
offlineimap) may recover the directory after it is deleted. They need
to specifically be configured to accept deletions, or special commands
need to be executed (e.g. `offlineimap --delete-folder`) to properly
delete folders.
A danger of using this on the IMAP backend is that it is possible for a
new message to be added to the directory and for aerc to not show it
immediately (due to a slow connection) - using `:rmdir` at this moment
(with `-f` if the directory already contains messages) would delete the
directory and the new message that just arrived (and all other
contents). This is documented in aerc(1) so that users are aware of
possible risks.
More mail flags can now be set, unset, and toggled, not just the
read/seen flag.
This functionality is implemented with a new `:flag` and `:unflag`
command, which are extensions to the matching `:read` and `:unread`
commands, adding support for different flags. In fact, the
`read`/`unread` commands are now recognized aliases to `flag`/`unflag`.
The new commands are also well documented in aerc(1).
The change mostly extends the previous read/unread setting functionality
by adding a selection for the flag to change.
- Add maildir flags to complement a messages imap flags
- Set the "seen" flag on sent messages when using the maildir backend
- Cleanup AppendMessage interface to use models.Flag for both IMAP and
maildir
Actions such as read / unread or the addition of new messages do change
the read/unread/recent count. Hence we request an update from the workers.
Workers going over the network should probably cache the information and invalidate
it only if necessary
Previously the workers returned a mixture of decoded / encoded parts.
This lead to a whole bunch of issues.
This commit changes the msgviewer and the commands to assume parts to already
be decoded
There is a command and config option. The criteria are a list of the
sort criterion and each can be individually reversed.
This only includes support for sorting in the maildir backend currently.
The other backends are not supported in this patch.
A sequence-set is an IMAP-specific implementation detail. Throughout the
UI, aerc simply operates using lists of opaque identifiers. In order to
loosen the coupling between the UI and IMAP in particular, replace most
usages of imap.SeqSet with []uint32, leaving the translation to a SeqSet
to the IMAP backend as needed.
Before, the information needed to display different parts of the UI was
tightly coupled to the specific messages being sent back and forth to
the backend worker. Separating out a models package allows us to be more
specific about exactly what a backend is able to and required to
provide for the UI.
Adds an archive command that moves the current message into the folder
specified in the account config entry.
Supports three layouts at this point:
- flat: puts all messages next to each other
- year: creates a folder per year
- month: same as above, plus folders per month
This also adds a "-p" argument to "cp" and "mv" that works like
"--parents" on mkdir(1). We use this to auto-create the directories
for the archive layout.
Worker.callbacks contains two types of callbacks: some are action callbacks,
some are message callbacks. Each of those is access from one side of the
communication channel (UI goroutine vs. worker goroutine).
Instead of using a channel, we can use two different maps for each kind. This
simplifies the code and also ensures we don't call an action callback instead
of a message callback (or the other way around).
Message IDs are allocated for both messages from UI to workers and the other
way around. Hence, the global nextId variable is accessed from multiple
goroutines.
Instead, use atomic to access the global counter.
Worker.Process* functions were called in different goroutines than
Worker.Post*. Protect the map with a mutex. Also make the map unexported to
prevent external unprotected accesses.
Worker.Process* functions used to delete items from the map. However they
didn't delete the element they retrieved: callbacks[msg.InResponseTo()] was
read while callbacks[msg] was deleted. I'm not sure I understand why. I tried
to delete the element that was accessed - but this broke everything (UI froze
at "Connecting..."). I don't believe any elements were actually removed from
the map, so the new code just doesn't remove anything.
