      1 # A Guide to scripting Rohrpost
      2 
      3 When you are writing scripts, which use the rohrpost utilities, try to be as
      4 sane as possible. If you plan to iterate over many e-mails, don't do it by
      5 hand, because this can lead to serious time-based overcrossings in which
      6 mailbox is selected at the moment.

      8 The right method is to store the requested messages in a mark list and let the
      9 rohrpost utilities iterate over them. Then the work is done on the IMAP
     10 server, which has the most sophisticated methods to prevent access clashes.
