-Hmm... my gut is telling me that nobody from Netscape will be working on this....but I'm
-quite sure that if someone does feel like adding this functionality, many unix mail people
-would be very pleased...
-
-(I'm going to start calling Unix Mail "movemail" because we've called it that in past versions
-of the product)
-
-It's actually probably simpler than your description - we've done a fairly good job at keeping
-the idea of POP (as a protocol for retrieving remote mail) and Local Mail (as a way of storing
-mail messages locally) as separate entities, though there is still work to be done to separate
-the two. Both implementations reside in mozilla/mailnews/local though.
-
-the movemail implementation could leverage the Local Mail work, performing the same function as
-POP is today. Ideally, Local Mail would not be aware of any protocol specifics, so that Pop3
-and movemail are both first class mail protocols.
-
-Scott or Scott could go into more specifics.
-
-If you're interested in helping us, the first thing to do would be to try to break local mail
-apart from POP in a way that POP is just one more pluggable mail protocol that stores mail in
-Local Mail....if you submit patches, I'll be more than happy to review them and check them
-in...

->
-> - Does Mozilla 4.x implement local Unix mail ?
-
-Yes, but the code is VERY different than our current codebase, it's fairly simple, and wouldn't
-really be worth the effort of bringing it over

-I think one of the main reasons for this is because it's kind of good e-mail karma to move your
-mail OUT of /var/mail and put it in your own directory. I think this is what other unixmail
-clients do....
-
-The other issue is that metadata is kept about each mailbox file - what messages are unread, the
-sorting order, the character set, etc... We do this normally by keeping a .msf file with the same
-name as the directory at the same level as this directory. This means that if I try to point my
-inbox at /var/mail/alecf, messenger will want to create a file /var/mail/alecf.msf
-

-...our architecture also depends on the folder hierarchy matching a directory structure on
-disk...meaning that if I have, in messenger:
-
-Local Mail
-  +- INBOX
-  +- My Folder
-     +- Another Folder
-
-The assumption is that INBOX is a sibling of My Folder on disk, and that Another Folder is a
-mailbox inside the directory My Folder.sbd (since My Folder is already a file, not a
-subdirectory). This means that My Folder would go into /var/mail/My Folder and Another Folder
-would go in /var/mail/My Folder.sbd/AnotherFolder
-
-it would be alot of overhead to try and abstract this so that each folder's location is
-independant of it's position in messenger's hierarchy. I think this overhead is not worth the
-minimal gain in capability.

-
-I just looked at the movemail code from 4.x and alec is right.
-
-ns/cmd/xfe/movemail.c basically did this:
-
-lock /var/spool/mail/$USERNAME
-copy /var/spool/mail/$USERNAME to .netscape.mail-recovery
-call MSG_IncorporateFromFile() with .netscape.mail-recovery
-
-I'm leaving out the gory file locking details and the builtin vs
-external movemail stuff.
-
-movemail in 5.0 is like pop, but you can't leave mail on the "server",
-and the "server" is really your spool file.

-we have ~/ImapMail, ~/Mail, ~/News, we could have ~/MoveMail
-
-Its all berkeley style mail boxes, and when we process the
-.netscape.mail-recovery file, it writes into ~/MoveMail/Inbox (like what
-pop does to ~/Mail/Inbox)
-
-in 5.0 you could have multiple imap, multiple pop, and local UNIX mail
-all at the same time.
-
-How about them apples?
-
-I've sanitizing the spence's old ns/cmd/xfe/movemail.c code now.  I'll
-bring it over into the 5.0 tree, and start up a
-mozilla/mailnews/movemail directory.
-
-One thing:  alecf and I (the UNIX people on 5.0 mail / news) will
-probably not have time to implement movemail for 5.0
-
-It would be so cool if someone out there wanted to take this on for 5.0.
-
-Think about it:  
-
-	movemail users will love you
-	your peers will admire you
-	free mozilla t-shirts (I'll make sure you get some)
-
-I'm adding adding this task to http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/jobs.html
-right now.
