Bug report: IMAP APPENDLIMIT behave chaos

Open imlonghao opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug

IMAP APPENDLIMIT settings behave in effected, conflict with maddy settings.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run maddy in Docker as instructed in https://maddy.email/docker/
  2. Create a creds and imap-acct for an account
  3. Now we can expect this account has no LIMIT (NIL) with APPENDLIMIT because account and mboxes are both has no limit.
# docker exec -it maddy maddy imap-acct appendlimit [email protected]
No limit

# sqlite3 imapsql.db 'select * from mboxes where msgsizelimit is null'
1|1|INBOX|1|0||7|1439825317||5
2|1|Sent|1|0||1|3335251900|\Sent|0
3|1|Trash|1|0||1|3434545230|\Trash|0
4|1|Junk|1|0||1|418662061|\Junk|0
5|1|Drafts|1|0||1|1872697851|\Drafts|0
6|1|Archive|1|0||2|556772642|\Archive|0
  1. But in effect, this account has an APPENDLIMIT to ZERO
# python
>>> import imaplib
>>> s=imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('127.0.0.1')
>>> s.login('[email protected]', 'foxcpp')
('OK', [b'[CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR CHILDREN UNSELECT MOVE IDLE APPENDLIMIT I18NLEVEL=1 SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT COMPRESS NAMESPACE] LOGIN completed'])
>>> s.status('INBOX', '(APPENDLIMIT)')
('OK', [b'INBOX (APPENDLIMIT 0)'])

According to RFC7889 The IMAP APPENDLIMIT Extension, the APPENDLIMIT flag in s.login() indicates server support this extension and client will need to discover upload limits for each mailbox. And the STATUS Response indicates server will not accept any APPEND commands at all for the affected mailboxes.

I am expecting to see the following STATUS response, which indicates the mailbox has no limit.

>>> s.status('INBOX', '(APPENDLIMIT)')
('OK', [b'INBOX (APPENDLIMIT NIL)'])
