Tmail talk - May 2012 - tmail-1.2.7.1-gem: Mailbox parsed, mailbox deleted ...

Hello,

I did:

require ''ftools''
require ''rubygems''
require ''set''
require ''tmail''
  
mailbox = TMail::UNIXMbox.new("/var/spool/mail/jan") # Symlink to:
/var/mail/jan

mailbox.each do |mail|
        puts mail.inspect
end

And all mail was gone - deleted - the mailbox is 0 bytes now! ARGS. Plz fix!

Keep smiling
yanosz

Btw.

# cat /etc/debian_version 
6.0.4

# ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i486-linux]

I am not sure how anybody could fix the fact that your mailbox is empty now.

By the way, tmail gem was replaced with mail gem:

https://rubygems.org/gems/tmail
https://rubygems.org/gems/mail

Hello,

well, I''ll fix that part with my backup ;-)
However, I my point is, that I didn''t expect that. I''ve never
assumed that the attached code will delete anything. Imho this is a really bad
way of api design. Please fix this part.
I see no reason, why parsing and working with a mailbox in r/w-mode should
truncate ''em at all. This is error-prone (imho) and won''t be
necessary if you provide a truncate method on the mailbox object

What I wanted to say is that tmail is abandonware[1] and will not be fixed.
Please use mail gem.

Hallo,

does mail actually support Unix-Mailboxes as a receiver method? Can you provide
an link to the concerned rdoc-file?
Afaik pop3 and imap is supported only and I haven''t been able to find
anything else yet.

Thx, Jan
