imaplib.IMAP4: Bug in implementation

[Oliver Kurz]

Hello,

I just discovered a "bug" in the imaplib.

I want to send the following command to the imap-server and I was suprisedto get a error. :-)

The command:

UID STORE 2349672398 +FLAGS (\SEEN)

IMAP4 makes from this command:

UID STORE 2323423233 "+FLAGS(\SE EN)"

This is not valid (http://community.roxen.com/developer.../rfc3501..html)

So ... is there a fix for this problem? Or have someone a workaround für this problem?

I call the uid like this

uid("STORE",uid ,"+FLAGS(\SEEN) ")

Are you shure you don't mean::

uid("STORE",uid ,"+FLAGS(\\SEEN )")

You are trying to create a non-existent special character, escaping the
s in your example.

I am not quite shure how Python reacts to that.

Have you tried uid("STORE", uid, "+FLAGS", "(\SEEN)")?

Python 2.3.3 (#51, Dec 18 2003, 20:22:39) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)]

'\s' '\\s' '\\s'

'\\s'

Seems that it if it doesn't recognize the escape, the effect is the same
as if you had escaped the escape character in the first place...
