I've created a branch that changes the id that the maildir source returns, which is then used as the source_info field inside the index. It seems to work well for me and I'd appreciate some more testing. This work should make the maildir source more robust and more friendly to other clients accessing the source without completely throwing sup for a loop. It will also help sync back for maildir (more on this in a second email).
A couple notes. First, the base source.rb class says that the id returned needs to be an integer, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Also, you'll note that start_offset and end_offset are not really telling the truth in my version of the maildir source. This doesn't seem to be a problem as nothing seems to be using those two functions. Second, this source might be slightly slower in some places than the original source and faster in others. I think most of the work is done in scan_mailbox and the rest of the source should be pretty light. If anyone has any ideas on how to make scan_mailbox lighter, I'd be very interested. Also, reset might take a while since it has to sort the ids array.
Any help in making this better would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Probably need to provide a link.
