MailFerry v1.0.0 — IMAP Migration & Sync
First stable release of MailFerry — High-Performance Native IMAP Migration
Engine.
Added
- Native asyncio IMAP protocol core: pipelined commands, streamed message bodies
(constant memory), non-synchronising literals (LITERAL+), wire
compression (COMPRESS=DEFLATE), STARTTLS and implicit TLS with
certificate verification on by default, inactivity and byte-progress
watchdogs, capability-driven optimisation with--baselinefallback. - Migration, sync and backup in one command: fresh migration, fingerprint
adoption of destinations pre-synced by other tools (duplicate-free,
even after State Database loss), and incremental top-up runs; deletions
are never propagated; optional--sync-flagsre-applies flag changes. - Per-message State Database (SQLite WAL): planned/inflight/done/skipped
states, source→destination UID mapping viaAPPENDUID, UIDVALIDITY-aware
re-verification, crash-window reconciliation, mailbox leases,
import-statemigration from the legacy wrapper,compactmaintenance
command. - Scheduler: worker pools, per-host connection budgets, parallel folder
pipelines inside large mailboxes, throttle-aware backoff; authentication
failures are never auto-retried. - Folder planner: NAMESPACE/delimiter translation, special-use role mapping
(localisation-proof), Gmail virtual-folder policy, mUTF-7 Unicode names,
include/exclude globs, explicit--mapfile. - Live Dashboard: alternate-screen differential renderer, two-line MailFerry
banner, global progress (messages/data %, throughput, ETA, duplicates
prevented, reconnects, retries), per-mailbox operation verbs and detailed
Source Server / Destination Server panels; non-TTY status lines;
--json-progresssnapshots. - Reporting: session log, per-mailbox logs,
results.csv, end-of-run
summary, optional NDJSON event logs,--traceprotocol logging with
credential redaction. - CLI:

exit codes 0/1/130/141. - Tooling: single-source version and identity (

release builder with branding/header/changelog/license validation and
SHA-256 checksums, AGPL source-header applier, end-to-end fake-IMAP test
suite (34 checks). - Packaging: standalone
