Hey all, I've been busy with public-inbox work this year.
I started working on a read-only IMAP/IMAPS server, and I expect
kernel.org to eventually host a v2 copy, too; and hopefully
other folks get interested in mirroring.
For now, you can access git@vger archives through 8 IMAP
mailboxes sliced into ~50K messages to not overload clients.
They go from 0..7, with 7 being the most recent:
imaps://public-inbox.org/INBOX.comp.version-control.git.0
imaps://public-inbox.org/INBOX.comp.version-control.git.1
imaps://public-inbox.org/INBOX.comp.version-control.git.2
imaps://public-inbox.org/INBOX.comp.version-control.git.3
imaps://public-inbox.org/INBOX.comp.version-control.git.4
imaps://public-inbox.org/INBOX.comp.version-control.git.5
imaps://public-inbox.org/INBOX.comp.version-control.git.6
imaps://public-inbox.org/INBOX.comp.version-control.git.7
When more messages show up,
imaps://public-inbox.org/INBOX.comp.version-control.git.8
should exist.
I've tested with mutt, offlineimap and mbsync (isync).
It's not yet complete (when is software ever?), but it's a
usable start, I think. Some more info about it over on
meta@public-inbox.org:

https://public-inbox.org/meta/20200610070519.18252-1-e@yhbt.net/
And maybe JMAP is coming, too...

Exciting news! Since I'm not actually subscribed to the mailing list,
public-inbox has been integral in my workflow by letting me reply to
messages that I'm not CC'd on. The IMAP gateway is a great development.
I fetched your message via IMAP just now ;)

Hi Denton, great to know you appreciate it :)
It's still in the early stages and there still seems to be a
problem where it still interacts badly with mutt's header cache.
Maybe checking over the old HTTPS/NNTPS endpoints once in a
while if things appear too quiet is a good idea while I shake
out some bugs.
I'm dreading the cost of ~100K RAM/storage overhead per-client
connection to support sequence numbers properly...

OK, that ought to be fixed and I found what seems to be an
acceptable solution w.r.t. server-side overhead:
https://public-inbox.org/meta/20200612234924.GA31809@dcvr/
I've also just deployed a recursive descent parser for which is
hopefully compliant with the way IMAP search queries are parsed:
https://public-inbox.org/meta/20200616050540.13357-3-e@yhbt.net/
One of the annoyances of read-only IMAP is MUAs (unlike
newsreaders) lack the ability to store status flags for
new/unread messages. I've got some ideas to deal with that on
the client-side...

Aha, I noticed last night when I was using it that it seemed much
snappier! I can also confirm on my end that your patch works and it
makes the experience much better.
Thanks again!

They've showed up, and .8 now exists, bringing to total up to 9.
