[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#502381: --idle should care about expunging.

[Matthias Andree]

Greetings,

turns out this is nontrivial to fix.

My patch does not help, and fetchmail does not support servers (such as
Dovecot v1.1) that do not send just the untagged * n EXPUNGE line
anyways, but not * n EXISTS.

But even with Cyrus that updates the * n EXISTS, Trent's desired message
does not appear. There must be some more logic going on, spread across
driver.c and imap.c, that prevents this from appearing. I have to
understand all the details first, and there is more important stuff on
the desk to address first.

Beyond that, I doubt the fix will be small enough to appear in a 6.3.X
release.

Sorry!
