- Unfinished extensions: MOVE, NOTIFY

- indexer-worker and maybe others (doveadm?) could support dropping privileges

permanently when service_count=1. Note that LMTP can't with multiple RCPT

TOs.

- after reading whole message text, update has_nul-state to cache

- if indexpvt is enabled, mailbox_list_indexes should go there? at least

private flags are otherwise problematic.. possibly only for shared/public

mailboxes?..

- catenate: {1234} and {1234+} error handling is wrong for both

- index_mail_parse_headers() etc. message_parsers don't check for stream errors

- FIFOs maybe should be counted as connections, but unlisten should

unlink+reopen it in master?

- mailbox list indexes + imaptest test=tests fails

- change proxy TTL so it stops at 1?

- lmtp client/proxy: Handle multiline replies better

- recreate mailbox -> existing sessions log "indexid changed" error

- add message/mime limits

- imapc:

- prefetching to THREAD and SORT

- check all imap extensions and see if some don't work (condstore)

- per-namespace imapc_* settings? create a way to "copy" a settings struct,

so mail_storage_settings are copied to mail_namespace_settings. use the

change tracking to figure out what settings are namespace-specific.

- imap: list (special-use recursivematch) "" % doesn't work

- passdb, userdb { username_format } that doesn't permanently change

the username

- mdbox/sdbox index rebuild -> quota rebuild?

- solr separate attachments (patch)

- sql connection pooling: Count lookup latencies, avoid servers with

significantly higher latencies. optionally use the secondary server only

as fallback

- maildir_storage_sync_force() shouldn't do anything except find the new

file, don't go expunging any more stuff or we could get recursively back to

where we started, and stuff would break

- imap: append/copy could trigger indexing (optionally)

- fuzzy: be fuzzy about date/size

- mailbox list index:

- with in-memory indexes be sure to refresh it more often

- refreshing could refresh only the parts that are actually requested,

e.g. %

- mailbox_get_metadata(guid) could be optimized

- virtual could use it to avoid keeping all mailboxes open

- check:

- dsyncing between two namespace separators is probably broken..

- remove mail_deliver_session after all, do all the stuff transparently

by hooking into mailbox_copy().

- use this hook also to do the mail deduplication: 1) sort all destination

users, 2) create mail_user only once for each user, 3) remember in

src_mail the previously copied mail, 4) use that for mailbox_copy()ing

to following recipients

- notify_sync() could have "what changed" struct with old/new flags

- maildir: copy dovecot-shared file from parent mailbox, not root.

- if global ACL path points to a file instead of a directory, read all of

them from there. support wildcards in names.

- master passdb preserves userdb_* extra fields. should it preserve

non-userdb_* extra fields too?

- imap, pop3: if client init fails, wait a second or two before disconnecting

client.

- doveadm search savedbefore 7d could be optimized in large mailboxes..

- mdbox: storage rebuilding could log about changes it does

- mdbox: broken extrefs header keeps causing index rebuilds

- cache: mail_cache_lookup() should be able to return mail_cache_add()ed

fields even before they've been flushed to disk. this is useful when copying

messages and some plugin (e.g. mail_log) fetches some fields that are

already added to cache (to avoid opening and parsing the message)

- doveadm -A <<EOF expunge + purge + EOF

- sent, drafts: .Sent/dovecot.index: modseq_hdr.log_offset too large

- mail_max_lock_timeout error could be reported more nicely, also ones coming

from lib-index

- dsync: if mailbox is renamed due to it being invalid, its subscription

isn't renamed

- sql pool: if async query is pending and sync query is sent and there

are no more empty connections, it should flush the async query first

- NTLMv1 and LM should be disabled if disable_plaintext_auth=yes

- SEARCH SENT*/HEADER/etc. doesn't seem optimized when using with TEXT/BODY

- dict sql: support ignoring some search key hierarchies (e.g. acl "anyone")

- mdbox

- dotlocking: cleanup should delete stale *.lock files

- purging seems to be inefficient. run imaptest for a while, get >500

files, start purging, it's slow until there are about 100 files left,

then the rest is suddenly fast.

- make sure that when reading mdbox mails sequentially the data is being

read from disk in n kB blocks and reads cross mail boundaries and when

reading the next mail it uses the previously read data in buffer

- Add some kind of checksum about data+metadata and use it when checking

consistency

- figure out a way to efficiently trigger purging when user has too much

mail expunged (e.g. keep track of total storage size, trigger purging

when it's 2*quota limit)

- keep track of total bytes in dbox storage in map header. also if

possible keep track of refcount=0 bytes. use these to optimize checks.

- save some stuff to map index header so we don't need to keep retrying

it. like when saving the lowest file_id which to bother checking.

- test crash-fixing

- mail_index_fsck() should perhaps cause dbox to be resynced?

- optimize away reading file header?

- maildir: out-of-disk-space failures apparently cause all kinds of

problems, e.g. "Expunged message reappeared", "Duplicate file entry"?

- deliver -r <address> used as autoreplies' From-address?

- add fd limit checks/warnings

- istream-seekable is inefficient. it shouldn't be reading the temp file

immediately after writing to it

- config process is handling requests too slowly. maybe add some caching.

- maybe config should return all of the protocol/local/remote overrides

when requested? then the caller could do a single lookup at start and

merge them later internally. this would really help login processes.

- ipv6: auth penalty should begin from /64 and gradually grow to /48 if

necessary. and the same could be done for ipv4 as well..

- dsync:

- check for uid conflicts in the middle of mailbox based on next existing

message, not previous

- subscriptions syncing doesn't handle mixed hierarchy separators

- Can't rename mailbox INBOX_019acf2169c5784b307f000074ccac23 to INBOX: Target mailbox already exists

- copying can't work in non-full mode unless source mailbox is modified

in some way. possibly add some COPY records to transaction log in future?

- superfast mode: when syncing changes within a mailbox, use modseqs to

figure out what has changed similar to QRESYNC.

- lda: add some -h 'Header: value' parameter that adds/replaces header

- ldap: fix multiple-gid support somehow

- search: use mail_get_parts() only when it's already cached. if it's not,

add it to cache afterwards.

- move ssl proxying code to lib-master

- dict pooling

/* currently non-external transactions can be applied multiple times,

causing multiple increments. */

//FIXME:i_assert((t->flags & MAIL_INDEX_TRANSACTION_FLAG_EXTERNAL) != 0);

^ appears to work now though, probably because of the added syncing stuff..

- transaction log corruption should make sure dovecot.index is rewritten

and perhaps not delete the file.

- use backup index in mail_index_fsck()

- proxying: support fallbacking to local (or other?) server if the first

one is down

- i_panic("Message count decreased") happens - why?

- at least one backtrace shows client_destroy -> client_command_cancel ->

imap_sync_deinit

- fsck -> log_file_tail_offset 2273345664 -> 996 ->

mail-transaction-log.c: line 341 (mail_transaction_log_set_mailbox_sync_pos):

assertion failed: (file_offset >= log->head->saved_tail_offset)

- virtual: If last message matching INTHREAD rule gets expunged, the rest of

the thread doesn't go away

- how do shared mailboxes work with plugins?

- lazy-expunge, fts, etc.?

- listescape+acl can't handle shared mailboxes with escape chars

- dovecot-acl-list:

- how does it work with global acls?

- update immediately after SETACL: add/remove entries, update timestamps

- read the entire file to memory only once and keep it there, stat() later

to see if it has changed. if not, perhaps don't even bother stat()ing

dovecot-acl files? at least not that often..

- fs quota: getquotaroot inbox vs. other-box should return different quotas

if two quotas are defined

- new primes code: are hash tables now being resized too often?

- auth_log_prefix setting similar to mail_log_prefix

- thread indexes: if we expunge a duplicate message-id: and we have a sibling

with identical message-id:, we can probably just move the children?

(unless there are non-sibling duplicates)

- SEARCH INTHREAD requires no thread sorting by date - don't do it

- CONDSTORE: use per-flag/per-keyword conflict checking

- QRESYNC: Drop expunges from the middle of given seq sets if possible

- use universal hash functions?

- UIDVALIDITY changed while saving -> sync errors

- mbox: copy to Trash, manually delete copied msg, change uidvalidity,

set nextuid=1, copy again -> error

- recent_uids assert at least with mbox

- quota fs: Should values returned by quota be divided by the actual

filesystem block size instead of hardcoded DEV_BSIZE? not with AIX..

- squat:

- wrong indexid

- fts_build_init() assertion failed: (last_uid < last_uid_locked)

- is locking done right? it reads header without file being locked?

- split after ~8 bytes?

- expunges are delayed until more mails are added

- test replacement chars (SEARCH / SORT / Squat)

- DEBUG: buffer overflow checking code probably doesn't handle a successful

t_try_realloc() or pool_alloconly_realloc() properly

- ldap:

- sasl bind + auth_bind=yes should probably be doing only sasl binds..

- support multiple connections for doing auth binds

- domain lookups which set the base for user lookup

- multiple ldap values could be joined into one field with specified

separator (e.g. mail_access_groups=%{ldap:gidNumber:,})

- implement something like:

user_attrs {

uid = %{ldap:uidNumber}

home = %{ldap:homeDirectory}

quota_bytes = *:bytes=%{ldap:quota}

}

- maildir+pop3 fast updates:

- with locking enabled, pop3 could just keep the one and same sync lock and

do the whole thing using sync transaction

- don't update dovecot-uidlist if dovecot.index.cache doesn't exist /

there's nothing to cache

- if all messages are expunged and there are no unknown extensions in index,

unlink dovecot.index and rotate log and add some initial useful info to

the log (uidvalidity, nextuid)

- maildir

- don't allow more than 26 keywords

- file_cache: we're growing the mmap in page size blocks, which is horribly

slow if mremap() doesn't exist.

- keywords:

- add some limits to how many there can be

- don't return \* in PERMANENTFLAGS when we're full

- remove unused keywords?

- mail caching

- force bits should be used only for nonregistered fields

- change envelope parsing not to use get_headers() so imap.envelope can

actually be cached without all the headers..

- if there's no other pressure for compression, we should do it when

enough temp fields are ready to be dropped

- we could try compressing same field values into a single

location in cache file.

- place some maximum limit of fields to cache file? maybe some soft and

hard limits, so when soft limit is reached drop fields that have

been used only once. when hard limit is reached drop any fields to get

more space. all this to avoid cache file growing infinitely.

- mbox

- UID renumbering doesn't really work after all?

- still problems with CRLF mboxes.. especially with broken Content-Length

headers (pointing between CR-LF?)

- syncing existing indexes takes 4x longer than creating new one, why?

- how well does dirty sync + status work? it reads the last mail every

time? not very good..

- always add empty line. make the parser require it too? syncing should

make sure there always exists two LFs at end of file. raw-mbox-stream

should make sure the last message ends with LF even if it doesn't exist

in the file

- Quote "From ", unquote ">From "

- COPY doesn't work to itself (lock assert crash, for now just disallowed)

- index

- read-only support for mailboxes where we don't have write-access

- index file format changes:

- split to "old" and "new" indexes and try to avoid loading "old" into

memory until needed

- pack UIDs to beginning of file with UID ranges

- use squat-like compressed uid ranges everywhere

- write first extension intros in dovecot.index.log always with names

- or better yet, drop the intro concept completely as it is now

- add "transaction boundaries" so we know which records belong to a

single transaction.

- only after that we can remove the transaction log offset

overwriting (otherwise we can get partial transactions in views)

- login

- Digest-MD5: support integrity protection, and maybe crypting. Do it

through login process like SSL is done?

- auth

- with blocking passdb we're not caching lookups if the password was wrong

- non-plaintext authentication doesn't support all features:

- multiple passdbs don't work, only the first one is used

- auth cache's last_success password change check doesn't exist

- auth_cache_negative_ttl doesn't check password mismatches

- dovecot-auth should limit how fast authentication requests are allowed

from login processes. especially if there's one login/connection the speed

should be something like once/sec. also limit how fast to accept new

connections.

- support read-only logins. user could with alternative password get only

read-access to mails so mails could be read relatively safely with

untrusted computers. Maybe always send [ALERT] about the previous

read-only login time with IP?

- ssl

- add setting: ssl_options = bitmask. by default we enable all openssl

workarounds, this could be used to disable some of them

- gnutls support isn't working

- search

- message header search: we should ignore LWSP between two MIME blocks(?)

- message_search_init() could accept multiple search keywords so we

wouldn't need to call it separately for each one (so we wouldn't need

to parse the message multiple times).

- Create our own extension: When searching with TEXT/BODY, return

the message text surrounding the keywords just like web search engines

do. like: SEARCH X-PRINT-MATCHES TEXT "hello" -> * SEARCH 1 "He said:

Hello world!" 2 "Hello, I'm ...". This would be especially useful with

the above attachment scanning.

- general

- things break if next_uid gets to 2^32
