Hello, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I wish there was this information somewhere like a week ago. I recently switched my mail provider to ProtonMail which lets you use IMAP/SMTP protocol only if you run something called ProtonMail Bridge on your machine. This software basically acts as a local IMAP/SMTP server and communicates with the upstream servers in a secured fashion (or at least this is the rationale). The problem is that Gnus and Gluon - IMAP server embedded inside ProtonMail Bridge - doesn't work well together. Gnus (nnimap back end) was acting like a lunatic and it took me a while before I found the real reason for its behaviour. Gnus expects that the messages are returned from a FETCH request in a ascending (predictable?) order but Gluon responds each time differently. Example communication might look like this: Gnus: FETCH 1:3 ... Gluon: * 3 RESPONSE ... Gluon: * 1 RESPONSE ... Gluon: * 2 RESPONSE ... This is apparently a valid response according to RFC 3501. But luckily for us there's server option inside Gluon which let's you disable parallelism and ultimately fix message shuffling. Here's the patch for proton-bridge package: From 23f9c69a1552af1f946687f55de901488a2c9a38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Jakub=20Je=C4=8Dm=C3=ADnek?= <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2024 16:07:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Gnus Fix: disable parallelism --- internal/services/imapsmtpserver/imap.go | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/internal/services/imapsmtpserver/imap.go b/internal/services/imapsmtpserver/imap.go index 63888b51..358173c6 100644 --- a/internal/services/imapsmtpserver/imap.go +++ b/internal/services/imapsmtpserver/imap.go @@ -120,6 +120,7 @@ func newIMAPServer( gluon.WithReporter(reporter), gluon.WithUIDValidityGenerator(uidValidityGenerator), gluon.WithPanicHandler(panicHandler), + gluon.WithDisableParallelism(), ) if err != nil { return nil, err -- 2.42.0 -- Kuba Ječmínek <http://kubajecminek.cz>
