Constants ¶
This section is empty.
Variables ¶
var ( // ErrNoSuchMailbox is returned by User.GetMailbox, User.DeleteMailbox and // User.RenameMailbox when retrieving, deleting or renaming a mailbox that // doesn't exist. ErrNoSuchMailbox = errors.New("No such mailbox") // ErrMailboxAlreadyExists is returned by User.CreateMailbox and // User.RenameMailbox when creating or renaming mailbox that already exists. ErrMailboxAlreadyExists = errors.New("Mailbox already exists") )
var ErrInvalidCredentials = errors.New("Invalid credentials")
ErrInvalidCredentials is returned by Backend.Login when a username or a password is incorrect.
Functions ¶
This section is empty.
Types ¶
type Backend ¶
type Backend interface {
// Login authenticates a user. If the username or the password is incorrect,
// it returns ErrInvalidCredentials.
Login(serverConn interface{}, username, password string) (User, error)
}
Backend is an IMAP server backend. A backend operation always deals with users.
type BackendUpdater ¶
type BackendUpdater interface {
// Updates returns a set of channels where updates are sent to.
Updates() <-chan Update
}
BackendUpdater is a Backend that implements Updater is able to send unilateral backend updates. Backends not implementing this interface don't correctly send unilateral updates, for instance if a user logs in from two connections and deletes a message from one of them, the over is not aware that such a mesage has been deleted. More importantly, backends implementing Updater can notify the user for external updates such as new message notifications.
type ExpungeUpdate ¶
ExpungeUpdate is an expunge update.
type Mailbox ¶
type Mailbox interface {
// Name returns this mailbox name.
Name() string
// Info returns this mailbox info.
Info() (*imap.MailboxInfo, error)
// Status returns this mailbox status. The fields Name, Flags, PermanentFlags
// and UnseenSeqNum in the returned MailboxStatus must be always populated.
// This function does not affect the state of any messages in the mailbox. See
// RFC 3501 section 6.3.10 for a list of items that can be requested.
Status(items []imap.StatusItem) (*imap.MailboxStatus, error)
// SetSubscribed adds or removes the mailbox to the server's set of "active"
// or "subscribed" mailboxes.
SetSubscribed(subscribed bool) error
// Check requests a checkpoint of the currently selected mailbox. A checkpoint
// refers to any implementation-dependent housekeeping associated with the
// mailbox (e.g., resolving the server's in-memory state of the mailbox with
// the state on its disk). A checkpoint MAY take a non-instantaneous amount of
// real time to complete. If a server implementation has no such housekeeping
// considerations, CHECK is equivalent to NOOP.
Check() error
// ListMessages returns a list of messages. seqset must be interpreted as UIDs
// if uid is set to true and as message sequence numbers otherwise. See RFC
// 3501 section 6.4.5 for a list of items that can be requested.
//
// Messages must be sent to ch. When the function returns, ch must be closed.
ListMessages(uid bool, seqset *imap.SeqSet, items []imap.FetchItem, ch chan<- *imap.Message) error
// SearchMessages searches messages. The returned list must contain UIDs if
// uid is set to true, or sequence numbers otherwise.
SearchMessages(uid bool, criteria *imap.SearchCriteria) ([]uint32, error)
// CreateMessage appends a new message to this mailbox. The \Recent flag will
// be added no matter flags is empty or not. If date is nil, the current time
// will be used.
//
// If the Backend implements Updater, it must notify the client immediately
// via a mailbox update.
CreateMessage(flags []string, date time.Time, body imap.Literal) error
// UpdateMessagesFlags alters flags for the specified message(s).
//
// If the Backend implements Updater, it must notify the client immediately
// via a message update.
UpdateMessagesFlags(uid bool, seqset *imap.SeqSet, operation imap.FlagsOp, flags []string) error
// CopyMessages copies the specified message(s) to the end of the specified
// destination mailbox. The flags and internal date of the message(s) SHOULD
// be preserved, and the Recent flag SHOULD be set, in the copy.
//
// If the destination mailbox does not exist, a server SHOULD return an error.
// It SHOULD NOT automatically create the mailbox.
//
// If the Backend implements Updater, it must notify the client immediately
// via a mailbox update.
CopyMessages(uid bool, seqset *imap.SeqSet, dest string) error
// Expunge permanently removes all messages that have the \Deleted flag set
// from the currently selected mailbox.
//
// If the Backend implements Updater, it must notify the client immediately
// via an expunge update.
Expunge() error
//Select mailbox
Select() error
//Deselect mailbox
DeSelect() error
}
Mailbox represents a mailbox belonging to a user in the mail storage system. A mailbox operation always deals with messages.
type MailboxInfoUpdate ¶
type MailboxInfoUpdate struct {
Update
*imap.MailboxInfo
}
MailboxInfoUpdate is a maiblox info update.
type MailboxPoller ¶
type MailboxPoller interface {
// Poll requests mailbox updates.
Poll() error
}
MailboxPoller is a Mailbox that is able to poll updates for new messages or message status updates during a period of inactivity.
type MailboxUpdate ¶
type MailboxUpdate struct {
Update
*imap.MailboxStatus
}
MailboxUpdate is a mailbox update.
type MessageUpdate ¶
type MessageUpdate struct {
Update
*imap.Message
}
MessageUpdate is a message update.
type StatusUpdate ¶
type StatusUpdate struct {
Update
*imap.StatusResp
}
StatusUpdate is a status update. See RFC 3501 section 7.1 for a list of status responses.
type Update ¶
type Update interface {
// The user targeted by this update. If empty, all connected users will
// be notified.
Username() string
// The mailbox targeted by this update. If empty, the update targets all
// mailboxes.
Mailbox() string
// Done returns a channel that is closed when the update has been broadcast to
// all clients.
Done() chan struct{}
}
Update contains user and mailbox information about an unilateral backend update.
type User ¶
type User interface {
// Username returns this user's username.
Username() string
// ListMailboxes returns a list of mailboxes belonging to this user. If
// subscribed is set to true, only returns subscribed mailboxes.
ListMailboxes(subscribed bool) ([]Mailbox, error)
// GetMailbox returns a mailbox. If it doesn't exist, it returns
// ErrNoSuchMailbox.
GetMailbox(name string) (Mailbox, error)
// CreateMailbox creates a new mailbox.
//
// If the mailbox already exists, an error must be returned. If the mailbox
// name is suffixed with the server's hierarchy separator character, this is a
// declaration that the client intends to create mailbox names under this name
// in the hierarchy.
//
// If the server's hierarchy separator character appears elsewhere in the
// name, the server SHOULD create any superior hierarchical names that are
// needed for the CREATE command to be successfully completed. In other
// words, an attempt to create "foo/bar/zap" on a server in which "/" is the
// hierarchy separator character SHOULD create foo/ and foo/bar/ if they do
// not already exist.
//
// If a new mailbox is created with the same name as a mailbox which was
// deleted, its unique identifiers MUST be greater than any unique identifiers
// used in the previous incarnation of the mailbox UNLESS the new incarnation
// has a different unique identifier validity value.
CreateMailbox(name string) error
// DeleteMailbox permanently remove the mailbox with the given name. It is an
// error to // attempt to delete INBOX or a mailbox name that does not exist.
//
// The DELETE command MUST NOT remove inferior hierarchical names. For
// example, if a mailbox "foo" has an inferior "foo.bar" (assuming "." is the
// hierarchy delimiter character), removing "foo" MUST NOT remove "foo.bar".
//
// The value of the highest-used unique identifier of the deleted mailbox MUST
// be preserved so that a new mailbox created with the same name will not
// reuse the identifiers of the former incarnation, UNLESS the new incarnation
// has a different unique identifier validity value.
DeleteMailbox(name string) error
// RenameMailbox changes the name of a mailbox. It is an error to attempt to
// rename from a mailbox name that does not exist or to a mailbox name that
// already exists.
//
// If the name has inferior hierarchical names, then the inferior hierarchical
// names MUST also be renamed. For example, a rename of "foo" to "zap" will
// rename "foo/bar" (assuming "/" is the hierarchy delimiter character) to
// "zap/bar".
//
// If the server's hierarchy separator character appears in the name, the
// server SHOULD create any superior hierarchical names that are needed for
// the RENAME command to complete successfully. In other words, an attempt to
// rename "foo/bar/zap" to baz/rag/zowie on a server in which "/" is the
// hierarchy separator character SHOULD create baz/ and baz/rag/ if they do
// not already exist.
//
// The value of the highest-used unique identifier of the old mailbox name
// MUST be preserved so that a new mailbox created with the same name will not
// reuse the identifiers of the former incarnation, UNLESS the new incarnation
// has a different unique identifier validity value.
//
// Renaming INBOX is permitted, and has special behavior. It moves all
// messages in INBOX to a new mailbox with the given name, leaving INBOX
// empty. If the server implementation supports inferior hierarchical names
// of INBOX, these are unaffected by a rename of INBOX.
RenameMailbox(existingName, newName string) error
// Logout is called when this User will no longer be used, likely because the
// client closed the connection.
Logout() error
}
User represents a user in the mail storage system. A user operation always deals with mailboxes.
