[imapfilter-devel] become_daemon

[Lefteris Chatzimparmpas]

Hello

We found the problem with Guillaume.  It seems that some servers (I
couldn't reproduce it in the one I use) don't update a mailbox's
contents with any new messages that have arrived, if there is some
client (like imapfilter) that has that mailbox opened.

This is probably due to some locking mechanism...  So it may be that
servers that store messages into traditional unix mbox files have this
limitation, while servers with multifile/dir-based formats, like maildir
or mh, don't.

The solution to this problem is simple; mailboxes should be closed after
all the searching is done.  This can be done with:

        options.close = true

I will consider it, and maybe this option will become a default one,
otherwise some special note will go into the configuration file manual
page.

Thanks for reporting this Guillaume
