we only have a "storage" limit. for total disk usage. we don't have a limit on
messages (count) or mailboxes (count). also not on total annotation size, but
we don't have support annotations at all at the moment.
we don't implement setquota. with rfc 9208 that's allowed. with the previous
quota rfc 2087 it wasn't.
the status command can now return "DELETED-STORAGE". which should be the disk
space that can be reclaimed by removing messages with the \Deleted flags.
however, it's not very likely clients set the \Deleted flag without expunging
the message immediately. we don't want to go through all messages to calculate
the sum of message sizes with the deleted flag. we also don't currently track
that in MailboxCount. so we just respond with "0". not compliant, but let's
wait until someone complains.
when returning quota information, it is not possible to give the current usage
when no limit is configured. clients implementing rfc 9208 should probably
conclude from the presence of QUOTA=RES-* capabilities (only in rfc 9208, not
in 2087) and the absence of those limits in quota responses (or the absence of
an untagged quota response at all) that a resource type doesn't have a limit.
thunderbird will claim there is no quota information when no limit was
configured, so we can probably conclude that it implements rfc 2087, but not
rfc 9208.
we now also show the usage & limit on the account page.
for issue #115 by pmarini
for conditional storing and quick resynchronisation (not sure if mail clients are actually using it that).
each message now has a "modseq". it is increased for each change. with
condstore, imap clients can request changes since a certain modseq. that
already allows quickly finding changes since a previous connection. condstore
also allows storing (e.g. setting new message flags) only when the modseq of a
message hasn't changed.
qresync should make it fast for clients to get a full list of changed messages
for a mailbox, including removals.
we now also keep basic metadata of messages that have been removed (expunged).
just enough (uid, modseq) to tell client that the messages have been removed.
this does mean we have to be careful when querying messages from the database.
we must now often filter the expunged messages out.
we also keep "createseq", the modseq when a message was created. this will be
useful for the jmap implementation.
