========
Hacking
========
Some hints oriented to `leap.mail` hackers. These notes are mostly related to
the imap server, although they probably will be useful for other pieces too.
Don't panic! Just manhole into it
=================================
If you want to inspect the objects living in your application memory, in
realtime, you can manhole into it.
First of all, check that the modules ``PyCrypto`` and ``pyasn1`` are installed
into your system, they are needed for it to work.
You just have to pass the ``LEAP_MAIL_MANHOLE=1`` enviroment variable while
launching the client::
LEAP_MAIL_MANHOLE=1 bitmask --debug
And then you can ssh into your application! (password is "leap")::
ssh boss@localhost -p 2222
Did I mention how *awesome* twisted is?? ``:)``
Profiling
=========
If using ``twistd`` to launch the server, you can use twisted profiling
capabities::
LEAP_MAIL_CONFIG=~/.leapmailrc twistd --profile=/tmp/mail-profiling -n -y imap-server.tac
``--profiler`` option allows you to select different profilers (default is
"hotshot").
You can also do profiling when using the ``bitmask`` client. Enable the
``LEAP_PROFILE_IMAPCMD`` environment flag to get profiling of certain IMAP
commands::
LEAP_PROFILE_IMAPCMD=1 bitmask --debug
Offline mode
============
The client has an ``--offline`` flag that will make the Mail services (imap,
currently) not try to sync with remote replicas. Very useful during development,
although you need to login with the remote server at least once before being
able to use it.
Mutt config
===========
You cannot live without mutt? You're lucky! Use the following minimal config
with the imap service::
set folder="imap://user@provider@localhost:1984"
set spoolfile="imap://user@provider@localhost:1984/INBOX"
set ssl_starttls = no
set ssl_force_tls = no
set imap_pass=MAHSIKRET
Running the service with twistd
===============================
In order to run the mail service (currently, the imap server only), you will
need a config with this info::
[leap_mail]
userid = "user@provider"
uuid = "deadbeefdeadabad"
passwd = "foobar" # Optional
In the ``LEAP_MAIL_CONFIG`` enviroment variable. If you do not specify a password
parameter, you'll be prompted for it.
In order to get the user uid (uuid), look into the
``~/.config/leap/leap-backend.conf`` file after you have logged in into your
provider at least once.
Run the twisted service::
LEAP_MAIL_CONFIG=~/.leapmailrc twistd -n -y imap-server.tac
Now you can telnet into your local IMAP server and read your mail like a real
programmer™::
% telnet localhost 1984
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ IDLE NAMESPACE] Twisted IMAP4rev1 Ready
tag LOGIN me@myprovider.net mahsikret
tag OK LOGIN succeeded

* OK [UIDVALIDITY 1410453885932] UIDs valid
tag OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT successful
^]
telnet> Connection closed.
Although you probably prefer to use ``offlineimap`` for tests::
offlineimap -c LEAPofflineimapRC-tests
Minimal offlineimap configuration
---------------------------------
You can use this as a sample offlineimap config file::
[general]
accounts = leap-local
[Account leap-local]
localrepository = LocalLeap
remoterepository = RemoteLeap
[Repository LocalLeap]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/LEAPMail/Mail
[Repository RemoteLeap]
type = IMAP
ssl = no
remotehost = localhost
remoteport = 1984
remoteuser = user
remotepass = pass
Testing utilities
-----------------
There are a bunch of utilities to test IMAP delivery in ``imap/tests`` folder.
If looking for a quick way of inspecting mailboxes, have a look at ``getmail``::
./getmail me@testprovider.net mahsikret
1. Drafts
2. INBOX
3. Trash
Which mailbox? [1] 2
1 Subject: this is the time of the revolution

Debugging IMAP commands
=======================
Use ``ngrep`` to obtain logs of the commands::
sudo ngrep -d lo -W byline port 1984
To get verbose output from thunderbird/icedove, set the following environment
variable::
NSPR_LOG_MODULES="imap:5" icedove
