Mark Hahnenberg 47f57a6c02 [client-sync] Gracefully handle large amounts of unknown UIDs from search
Summary:
Previously if we got back a huge number of unknown UIDs from IMAP search
we would try to sync all of them at once. This could lead to hanging the sync
loop trying to download tons of messages. This diff limits the UIDs we're
willing to sync per task to 500 and splits each task up into chunks of 25
messages so that we don't try to download all of them at once. If we need
to sync more than 500 uids then at the end of the syncback task it will
queue another task to run the next time the sync loop rolls back around.

Test Plan:
Run locally, verify that we gracefully handle various situations
including cancelling during the syncback task, cancelling between syncback
tasks, huge numbers of results, etc

Client Sync

This is the mail sync engine that runs within the Nylas Mail client

It is symlinked in as an internal_package of Nylas Mail via the postinstall script of the root repo.

Important Usage Notes:

Since this is symlinked in as an internal_package of Nylas Mail, there are a handulf of considerations when developing in client-sync. Some common gotchas:

  • You MAY use NylasEnv, NylasExports and other injected libraries in the Nylas Mail client environment.
  • You MAY use any 3rd party library declared in client-app/package.json. Since this gets added as a plugin of the Nylas Mail client, you'll have access to all libraries. This works because the client-app/node_modules was added to the global require paths. That lets us access client-app plugins without being a file directory decendent of client-app (client-sync is now a sibling of client-app)
  • You may NOT add "dependencies" to the client-sync/package.json. If you need a 3rd party library, add it to the main client-app/package.json. All Nylas Mail plugins (those inside of internal_packages), may no longer declare their own dependencies.
  • You should be aggressive at moving generic mail methods to isomorphic-core. We may eventually want to make large chunks of client-sync work in a cloud environment as well.
