IMAP: let mail retrieval scale better

Operating Systems / Haiku - Axel Dörfler [pinc-software.de] - 6 January 2015 08:26 UTC

- We now also maintain a mail index -> UID array in IMAPMailbox.
- Instead of fetching the message entries by a fixed range of UIDs, we use the message count, and get the entries by index.
- Likewise, in FetchHeadersCommand, we now get a list of UIDs rather than a range. This makes it possible to only download exactly the headers we want.
- Extended FetchCommand to be able to dynamically build a sequence list from a list of UIDs.
- Besides the suboptimal body fetching (one at a time, due to holes in the IMAP specification), we should now be able to retrieve the messages with pretty much optimal performance, while retaining an acceptable responsiveness to user requests.
