Re: [fetchmail-devel] BUG (?) fetchmail 6.3.2 hangs with 'idle' on OpenBSD

[Casper G. <cas...@ko...>]

Well, without actually knowing what I'm doing (I think) this is 
how I fixed it:

-------------------------------------------------------------
*** imap_orig.c Mon Feb 20 02:26:35 2006
--- imap.c      Mon Feb 20 02:17:05 2006
***************
*** 110,115 ****
--- 110,118 ----

                    mytimeout = saved_timeout;
                    stage = STAGE_FETCH;
+
+                   recentcount = count;
+                   return PS_SUCCESS;
                }
            }
            else if (strstr(buf, " RECENT"))
-------------------------------------------------------------

Seems somehow the 'stage = STAGE_FETCH' never gets
any action if we don't do it like that. Otherwise on
the next round we'll just be stage = STAGE_IDLE again,
and nobody ever checks if we went to FETCH in between.

In fact as far as I could see changing the stage
variable has no effect whatsoever, it's the recentcount
that does the trick. It gets imap_getrange() out of
its stubborn imap_idle() loop, and then things start
to happen, and I get my mail.

Works for me. Could break something on a server
supporting IDLE though, not sure about that. Someone
might want to check that?
