renaming inbox is special. the mailbox isn't renamed, but its messages moved to
a new mailbox. we weren't updating the destination mailbox uidnext with the new
messages. the fix not only sets the uidnext correctly, but also renumbers the
uids, starting at 1.
this also adds a consistency check for message uids and mailbox uidnexts, and
for mailbox uidvalidity account nextuidvalidity in "mox verifydata".
this also adds command "mox fixuidmeta" (not listed) that fixes up mailbox uidnext
and account uidvalidity. and command "mox reassignuids" that will renumber the
uids for either one or all mailboxes in an account.
the backup command will make consistent snapshots of all the database files. i
had been copying the db files before, and it usually works. but if the file is
modified during the backup, it is inconsistent and is likely to generate errors
when reading (can be at any moment in the future, when reading some db page).
"mox backup" opens the database file and writes out a copy in a transaction.
it also duplicates the message files.
before doing a restore, you could run "mox verifydata" on the to-be-restored
"data" directory. it check the database files, and compares the message files
with the database.
the new "gentestdata" subcommand generates a basic "data" directory, with a
queue and a few accounts. we will use it in the future along with "verifydata"
to test upgrades from old version to the latest version. both when going to the
next version, and when skipping several versions. the script test-upgrades.sh
executes these tests and doesn't do anything at the moment, because no releases
have this subcommand yet.
inspired by a failed upgrade attempt of a pre-release version.
