Need advice

Rate this Message:
Hi all,
I need some advice for my archiver plugin regarding collecting the messages to be archived. My ideas at the moment is this: 1) Using the folder requested by the user, decide how many messages the folder contains. 2) Find which messages are cached locally and archive those. 3) Fetch the rest from the server. Questions to item 1) - How can I decide how many messages a folder has if the folder in question is a sub folder of INBOX? - Does POP3 operate with sub folders? 2) - How can I decide which messages are cached and which to fetch from the server? - Is there a fetch-all function which deals with this? - How do I avoid caching locally the ones I fetch, or should I do this since the messages will be fetch anyway? 3) - Is there a function I can call which will hide all server/protocol related stuff? - The way I see it there seems to be no taxonomic difference between a mail folder, a news folder, a feed folder, and a calendar folder. Is this a false assumption? -- Hilsen/Regards Michael Rasmussen Get my public GnuPG keys: michael <at> rasmussen <dot> cc http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xD3C9A00E mir <at> datanom <dot> net http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE501F51C mir <at> miras <dot> org http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE3E80917 -------------------------------------------------------------- You feel a whole lot more like you do now than you did when you used to. |

Don't bother about the underlying folder stuff: Use GSList *msglist = folder_item_get_msg_list(item); GSList *cur; for (cur = msglist; cur; cur = cur->next) { gchar *file = procmsg_get_message_file(MsgInfo *msginfo); //do stuff with your file that contains the message } procmsg_msg_list_free(msglist); > - How can I decide which messages are cached and which to fetch > from the server?

Let Claws cache them, it's better. > 3) - Is there a function I can call which will hide all > server/protocol related stuff?

No, it's completely true. By using folder_item_get_msg_list() and procmsg_get_message_file, you don't even need to know what kind of folder you're operating on. HTH, -- Colin |
