Bug#502872: Please support "copy" with a bunch of messages

[Michelle Konzack]

Package: libnet-imap-simple-perl
Severity: wishlist

Hello Maintainers,

Please forwarg this to Upstream.

The IMAP protocol allow to send a list of messages to  the  IMAP  server
which should be "copied"  or  "deleted".  Net::IMAP::Simple  allow  only
copying or deleting of a singel message which lead to  the  hell  of  an
overhead to the IMAP server (in my case it is courier).

If passed a list to the "copy" or "delete" command and an error  occurs,
the command has to stop and give in the error the message  number  back,
which lead to the error.  The program has then  to  parse  the  original
messages number string to find out which messages has  been  passed  and
which not.

    $imap->delete( "$string_of_message_numbers" );
    $imap->copy( "$string_of_message_numbers" , $mailbox );

Since I am currently coding a new IMAP client based on Perl, I  like  to
see this feature as fast as posibel.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
