It's used in `fetch_existing_msgs()`, but we can remove it and tell users that they need to
move/copy messages from Sentbox to Inbox so that Delta Chat adds all contacts from them. This way
users will be also informed that Delta Chat needs users to CC/BCC/To themselves to see messages sent
from other MUAs.
The motivation is to reduce code complexity, get rid of the extra IMAP connection and cases when
messages are added to chats by Inbox and Sentbox loops in parallel which leads to various message
sorting bugs, particularly to outgoing messages breaking sorting of incoming ones which are fetched
later, but may have a smaller "Date".
We do not try to delete resent messages
anymore. Previously resent messages
were distinguised by having duplicate Message-ID,
but future Date, but now we need to download
the message before we even see the Date.
We now move the message to the destination folder
but do not fetch it.
It may not be a good idea to delete
the duplicate in multi-device setups anyway,
because the device which has a message
may delete the duplicate of a message
the other device missed.
To avoid triggering IMAP busy move loop
described in the comments
we now only move the messages
from INBOX and Spam folders.
Actually this leads to fetching messages only from watched folders and Spam. Motivation:
- At least Gmail has virtual folders which aren't correctly detected as such, e.g. "Sent".
- At least Gmail has many virtual folders and scanning all of them takes significant time, 5-6 secs
in median for me. This slows down receiving new messages and consumes battery.
- Delta Chat shouldn't fetch messages from folders potentially created by other apps for their own
purposes. NB: All compatible Delta Chat forks should use the "DeltaChat" folder as mvbox.
- Fetching from folders that aren't watched, e.g. from "Sent", may lead to message ordering issues.
Add a `create` param to `select_with_uidvalidity()` instead of always trying to create the folder
and return `Ok(false)` from it if the folder doesn't exist and shouldn't be created, and handle this
in `store_seen_flags_on_imap()` by just removing "jobs" from the `imap_markseen` table. Also don't
create the folder in other code paths where it's not necessary.
This may indicate that there was a new \Seen flag
that we don't want to skip.
Also don't drain unsolicited responses while scanning folders. Now we
only drain unsolicited responses right before IDLE and always redo the
whole fetch cycle if there have been some. Some message in the scanned
folder may not be fetched that would be previously fetched otherwise,
but it will be picked up on the next folder scan.
This fixes things for Gmail f.e. Before, `Imap::fetch_move_delete()` was called before looking for
Trash and returned an error because of that failing the whole `fetch_idle()` which prevented
configuring Trash in turn.
Connection establishment now happens only in one place in each IMAP loop.
Now all connection establishment happens in one place
and is limited by the ratelimit.
Backoff was removed from fake_idle
as it does not establish connections anymore.
If connection fails, fake_idle will return an error.
We then drop the connection and get back to the beginning of IMAP
loop.
Backoff may be still nice to have to delay retries
in case of constant connection failures
so we don't immediately hit ratelimit if the network is unusable
and returns immediate error on each connection attempt
(e.g. ICMP network unreachable error),
but adding backoff for connection failures is out of scope for this change.
If a time value doesn't need to be sent to another host, saved to the db or otherwise used across
program restarts, a monotonically nondecreasing clock (`Instant`) should be used. But as `Instant`
may use `libc::clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC)`, e.g. on Android, and does not advance while being in
deep sleep mode, get rid of `Instant` in favor of using `SystemTime`, but add `tools::Time` as an
alias for it with the appropriate comment so that it's clear why `Instant` isn't used in those
places and to protect from unwanted usages of `Instant` in the future. Also this can help to switch
to another clock impl if we find any.
Restart the IO scheduler if needed to make the new config value effective (for `MvboxMove,
OnlyFetchMvbox, SentboxWatch` currently). Also add `set_config_internal()` which doesn't affect
running the IO scheduler. The reason is that `Scheduler::start()` itself calls `set_config()`,
although not for the mentioned keys, but still, and also Rust complains about recursive async calls.
This removes the message that needed to be supplied to LogExt::log_err
calls. This was from a time before we adopted anyhow and now we are
better off using anyhow::Context::context for the message: it is more
consistent, composes better and is less custom.
The benefit of the composition can be seen in the FFI calls which need
to both log the error as well as return it to the caller via
the set_last_error mechanism.
It also removes the LogExt::ok_or_log_msg funcion for the same reason,
the message is obsoleted by anyhow's context.
Gmail archives messages marked as `\Deleted` by default if those messages aren't in the Trash. But
if move them to the Trash instead, they will be auto-deleted in 30 days.
IMAP capabilities and selected folder are IMAP session,
not IMAP client property.
Moving most operations into IMAP session structure
removes the need to constantly check whether IMAP session exists
and reduces number of invalid states, e.g. when a folder is selected but
there is no connection.
Capabilities are determined immediately after logging in,
so there is no need for `capabilities_determined` flag anymore.
Capabilities of the server are always known if there is a session.
`should_reconnect` flag and `disconnect()` function are removed: we
drop the session on error. Even though RFC 3501 says that a client
SHOULD NOT close the connection without a LOGOUT, it is more reliable
to always just drop the connection, especially after an error.
Skipping of all [Gmail] folders was introduced to avoid scanning
virtual "[Gmail]/All Mail" folder. However, it also skips Sent and
Spam folders which reside inside [Gmail]. As a result
configured_sentbox_folder becomes unset after folder scan, making it
impossible to watch Sent folder, and Spam folder is never scanned.
This change makes Delta Chat identify virtual Gmail folders by their
flags, so virtual folders are skipped while Sent and Spam folders are
still scanned.
* Make set_config() look a bit nicer
* Add OnlyFetchMvbox option
* Add test for the config
* Add option to only watch mvbox
This is supposed to support having a server-side rule which moves
emails to the mvbox already. The new option makes sure the mvbox is
wathched and also makes sure no messages are feched from folders other
than the mvbox and the spam folder if enabled. It does not interact
with the other settings.
* Fixup ignore conditions
* Cleanup some bits
* Watch the mvbox when `WatchMvboxOnly` is set
* Rename back to only_fetch_mvbox (flub said it's OK for him)
* typo
* clippy, more typos

- Replace .ok_or_else() and .map_err() with anyhow::Context where possible.
- Use .context() to check Option for None when it's an error
- Resultify Chatlist.get_chat_id()
- Add useful .context() to some errors
- IMAP error handling cleanup
Also resultified `get_watched_folders`.
Python test `test_moved_markseen` is modified to test using incoming
message instead of BCC-self message, because BCC-self message is
detected immediately in the Inbox.
`imap` table maps Message-IDs to UIDs on the server. `dc_receive_imf`
no longer gets the UID of the message as an argument and does not
insert the folder and UID of the message into the `msgs`
table. `server_folder` and `server_uid` columns in `msgs` table are
deprecated.
MoveMsg and DeleteMsgOnImap jobs are removed. Now messages are moved
and deleted only in the `fetch_move_delete` procedure that consults
the `target` column of the `imap` table to determine where the message
should go.
Where the message should go is determined after prefetching by the
`imap::target_folder()` procedure. Messages are only downloaded once
they reach their target folder to avoid race conditions in multidevice
setting, such as:
1. One device trying to FETCH the message while the other tries to
MOVE it.
2. One device marking the message as \Seen in the Inbox while the
other has already copied unseen message to the Movebox and is going to
delete the \Seen message in the Inbox.
3. Device downloads the message from the Inbox while there are newer
messages in the Movebox placed there by the other device, thus
processing the messages out of order.

Gmail labels are not folders and should be skipped. For example, emails
appear in the inbox and under "All Mail" as soon as it is received. The
code used to wrongly conclude that the email had already been moved and
left it in the inbox.
See https://support.delta.chat/t/discussion-how-to-show-error-states/1363/10 <!-- comment -->
It turns out that it's pretty easy to distinguish between lots of states (currently Error/NotConnected, Connecting…, Getting new messages… and Connected). What's not that easy is distinguishing between an actual error and no network, because if the server just doesn't respond, it could mean that we don't have network or that we are trying ipv6, but only ipv4 works.
**WRT debouncing:**
Sending of EVENT_CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED is not debounced, but emitted every time one of the 3 threads (Inbox, Mvbox and Sentbox) has a network error, starts fetching data, or is done fetching data.
This means that it is emitted:
- 9 times when dc_maybe_network() is called or we get network connection
- 12 times when we lose network connection
Some measurements: dc_get_connectivity() takes a little more than 1ms (in my measurements back in March), dc_get_connectivity_html() takes 10-20ms. This means that it's no immmediate problem to call them very often, might increase battery drain though. For the UI it may be a lot of work to update the title everytime; at least Android is smart enough to update the title only once.
Possible problems (we don't have to worry about them now I think):
- Due to the scan_folders feature, if the user has lots of folders, the state could be "Connecting..." for quite a long time, generally DC seemed a little unresponsive to me because it took so long for "Connecting..." to go away. Telegram has a state "Updating..." that sometimes comes after "Connecting...".
To be done in other PRs:
- Better handle the case that the password was changed on the server and authenticating fails, see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/1923 and https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/1768
- maybe event debouncing (except for "Connected" connectivity events)
fix https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/1760
`Imap` structure is always created in a configured state now. There is
no default value for `ImapConfig` anymore.
Also resultify Scheduler::start() to fail on database errors, for
example if IMAP configuration cannot be read from the database during
`start_io()`. Previosuly errors during reading keys such as
`mvbox_watch` were simply ignored and folders were not watched until
the application is completely restarted, now start_io() will fail and
scheduler will only be started at the next start_io() call which
usually happens when app is brought to the foreground.
* Add failing test for #2369
* Completely ignore Drafts folder
fix#2369
* Also ignore messages that have the Draft flag set but are not in the Drafts folder
When watch_inbox was off, scan_folders failed and a toast "IMAP operation attempted while it is torn down" was shown.
--
The problem was:
When inbox_watch is off, scan_folders() is called at 244260a978/src/scheduler.rs (L107) but connect_configured() is not called before.
* Add test
* Don't only setup handle, but connect_configured() in scan_folders()
Switches from rusqlite to sqlx to have a fully async based interface

This does fix a bug and it makes the tests pass, but I'm not sure why it
makes the tests pass; maybe there is a race condition that made the
tests fail and my commit just leads to another timing.
This removes the proxy via crate::error to depend on anyhow directly.
There is no benefit to this indirection and this makes it simpler to
see which error types are used.
Start implementing #1994
TODO (in later PRs):
- Add a hint to the watch settings that all folders are fetched from time to time (to be done in the individual UIs)
- folder names are case-insensitive, so double-check that all comparisons are case-insensitive
- The `scan_folders.rs` file didn't get as large as I expected and it's probably not worth it having an extra file for it. But if there are no objections, I'll make another PR to rename it to `folders.rs` and also put into it `configure_folders()` from `imap/mod.rs` and `needs_move()` with all its tests from `message.rs`.
Done:
- Most mailboxes have a "Drafts" folder where constantly new emails appear but we don't actually want to show them, what do we do about this? The most reliable way to detect such messages that we found up to now is:
If there is no `Received` header AND it's not in the `ConfiguredSentbox`, then ignore the email.
- before or after INBOX idle trigger a new "scan all folders for messages". It does a "list folders" and then goes through all folders with select-statements, checking if "next-uid" was changed since checked last time. This might be batchable but in any case should not consume a lot of traffic. We might debounce this scan activity to happen at most every N minutes
- if next-uid changed for a folder, we "prefetch" and "fetch" DC-messages as as needed ("dc-messages" are not just those with "Chat-Version" headers, but can also be regular emails)
- if we discover DC-messages in folders that have the "/Spam" flag (maybe excluding ContactRequests) we automatically move them to INBOX/DeltaChat folder to help provider-spam-systems to regard this contact/mail as non-spam
- for now, we do not change any user visible option, but introduce this "scan all" automatically and on top of what exists. The DeltaChat folder-watching does not perform scan-all-folders (maybe with the exception to trigger scan-all also with DeltaChat if INBOX is not watched)
- Tests (except if you have ideas to improve them)
- all folders, their last uidvalidity, next-seen etc. are kept in a separate "imap-sync" sqlite table. Maybe this can be used to streamline some of the "Sent" folder and "DeltaChat" folder detection code we already have.
- We now also move self-sent messages from the Inbox to the Sent folder if `mvbox_move` is off, as this was very easy to do now. This way, we now behave more like a normal MUA if the user wants this.
FOR LATER PRs:
- maybe for the first 50 messages or so, we could reduce the IDLE-timeout (currently 23 minutes or so) to faster detect messages sent to non-inbox folders. However, on Android and iOS, we would likely trigger scan-all when the app moves to foreground, and so it might not be neccessary to reduce the current idle-timeout at least for them. We can leave this "faster discovery" question for the end, after we move to real-life testing.
- (Later on, after the above works, we can consider heuristics on which folders to perform IDLE on, and remove the Watch-folder options (inbox, deltachat, sent). We tried to find a safe scheme for already doing it but failed to fine one, too many unknowns, also some questions regarding multi-device (you might have different settings with each of it, one moves, the other doesn't etc.) so we postponed this in favor of the above incremental suggestion.)

* Ignore emails that are probably only drafts
Most mailboxes have a "Drafts" folder where constantly new emails appear
but we don't actually want to show them.
So: If there is no Received header AND it's not in the ConfiguredSentbox,
then ignore the email.
Also: Add test.
* Fix occasional test failure, it was introduced as DC now moves messages from Inbox to Sent
* Add `Received` header to the rust tests
* After this PR we will always watch all folders and delete messages there if server_delete is enabled. So, for people who have server_delete on, disable it and add a hint to the devicechat
* comment, small fix
* link2xt's first review
* Use ON CONFLICT(FOLDER) DO to update and if it doesn't exist, then insert
Reason from link2xt: We had a problem with multiple peerstates inserted due to key fingerprint parsing error previously. With logic in Rust a similar problem can occur: an UPDATE can fail for reasons other than a conflict. PRIMARY KEY should ensure uniqueness in this case, but anyway.
* Remove two TODO statements, remove fetch_new_messages: ignoring uid {}, uid_next was {} log
* Next TODO: Make uidvalidity and uid_next DEFAULT 0
* rm two TODOs, Seems like we are not going to `exclude folders that are watched anyway` in this PR
* small tweak: Handle instants more carefully
* Add scan_all_folders_debounce_secs config for tests, set debounce to 60s (before it was just 2s during the first day)
* Don't use bold letters for the device message
* React to changes in the folders better
Before, if there was a configured Sent folder, but then it got
removed and replaced with another folder with a name meaning "Sent" but
without Sent flag, it would be ignored.
So, instead of checking against ConfiguredSentboxFolder,
create two Option variables at the beginning of the loop and replace
them with Some if it is None. At the end of the loop, store the new
values into ConfiguredSendboxFolder and ConfiguredSpamFolder, even if it
is None.
Also, derive some useful traits.
* move job: Return a meaningful error if server_folder is None instead of panicing
* small error-handling fix
* Fix test_fetch_existing() python test
Before, we sometimes got a race condition where scan_folders() sees that
there is a Sentbox and saves this info after we set the
ConfiguredSentbox to None and before the message is sent.
So, just expect that the message is moved to the sentbox.
* migration is 72 now
* rm 2 TODOs, Don't infinitely retry when dc_receive_imf() returns Err
* clippy: Remove glob imports
* Delete created folders at the beginning of tests
(some created folders made problems in the next tests because)
* Improve resetting accounts between tests
