mu4e causes sync failure with mbsync #76

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use mbsync to sync a set of IMAP folders
2. Use mu4e to move a message from one folder to another
3. Use mbsync to re-sync
4. Possibly repeat a few times

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: ongoing working synchronization
Seen instead: failed synchronization, continuing until manual intervention is 
taken

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.9.5.

Please provide any additional information below.
The issue is that when mu4e moves the messages, they are not renamed. This can 
cause the IDs to collide. A search for 'mbsync' in mu-discuss shows some 
discussion on the issue.

I just did a quick test with mutt and when moving a message from one folder to 
another, it renamed the file.

This is an issue in mbsync, but latest mu4e (git) has a workaround (see 
`mu4e-change-filenames-when-moving).
