Method Details

__init__(self, path)
(Constructor)

Initialize with name of the Maildir mailbox

deleteMessage(self, i)

Delete a message

This only moves a message to the .Trash/ subfolder, so it can be undeleted by an administrator.

getMessage(self, i)

Return an open file-pointer to a message

getUidl(self, i)

Return a unique identifier for a message

This is done using the basename of the filename. It is globally unique because this is how Maildirs are designed.

listMessages(self)

Return a list of lengths of all files in new/ and cur/

undeleteMessages(self)

Undelete any deleted messages it is possible to undelete

This moves any messages from .Trash/ subfolder back to their original position, and empties out the deleted dictionary.
