Overview

An IMAP sequence set is a set of message sequence numbers or unique identifier numbers (“UIDs”). It contains numbers and ranges of numbers. The numbers are all non-zero unsigned 32-bit integers and one special value ("*") that represents the largest value in the mailbox.

Certain types of IMAP responses will contain a SequenceSet, for example the data for a "MODIFIED" ResponseCode. Some IMAP commands may receive a SequenceSet as an argument, for example #search, #fetch, and #store.

EXPERIMENTAL API

SequenceSet is currently experimental. Only two methods, .[] and #valid_string, are considered stable. Although the API isn’t expected to change much, any other methods may be removed or changed without deprecation.

Creating sequence sets

.new with no arguments creates an empty sequence set. Note that an empty sequence set is invalid in the IMAP grammar.

set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new
set.empty?        #=> true
set.valid?        #=> false
set.valid_string  #!> raises DataFormatError
set << 1..10
set.empty?        #=> false
set.valid?        #=> true
set.valid_string  #=> "1:10"

.new may receive a single optional argument: a non-zero 32 bit unsigned integer, a range, a sequence-set formatted string, another sequence set, or an enumerable containing any of these.

set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new(1)
set.valid_string  #=> "1"
set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new(1..100)
set.valid_string  #=> "1:100"
set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new(1...100)
set.valid_string  #=> "1:99"
set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new([1, 2, 5..])
set.valid_string  #=> "1:2,5:*"
set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new("1,2,3:7,5,6:10,2048,1024")
set.valid_string  #=> "1,2,3:7,5,6:10,2048,1024"
set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new(1, 2, 3..7, 5, 6..10, 2048, 1024)
set.valid_string  #=> "1:10,55,1024:2048"

Use .[] with one or more arguments to create a frozen SequenceSet. An invalid (empty) set cannot be created with .[].

set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["1,2,3:7,5,6:10,2048,1024"]
set.valid_string  #=> "1,2,3:7,5,6:10,2048,1024"
set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1, 2, [3..7, 5], 6..10, 2048, 1024]
set.valid_string  #=> "1:10,55,1024:2048"

Normalized form

When a sequence set is created with a single String value, that #string representation is preserved. SequenceSet’s internal representation implicitly sorts all entries, de-duplicates numbers, and coalesces adjacent or overlapping ranges. Most enumeration methods and offset-based methods use this normalized representation. Most modification methods will convert #string to its normalized form.

In some cases the order of the string representation is significant, such as the ESORT, CONTEXT=SORT, and UIDPLUS extensions. Use #entries or #each_entry to enumerate the set in its original order. To preserve #string order while modifying a set, use #append, #string=, or #replace.

Using *

IMAP sequence sets may contain a special value "*", which represents the largest number in use. From seq-number in RFC9051 §9:

In the case of message sequence numbers, it is the number of messages in a non-empty mailbox. In the case of unique identifiers, it is the unique identifier of the last message in the mailbox or, if the mailbox is empty, the mailbox’s current UIDNEXT value.

When creating a SequenceSet, * may be input as -1, "*", :*, an endless range, or a range ending in -1. When converting to #elements, #ranges, or #numbers, it will output as either :* or an endless range. For example:

Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["1,3,*"].to_a      #=> [1, 3, :*]
Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["1,234:*"].to_a    #=> [1, 234..]
Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1234..-1].to_a     #=> [1234..]
Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1234..].to_a       #=> [1234..]

Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1234..].to_s       #=> "1234:*"
Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1234..-1].to_s     #=> "1234:*"

Use #limit to convert "*" to a maximum value. When a range includes "*", the maximum value will always be matched:

Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["9999:*"].limit(max: 25)
#=> Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["25"]

Surprising * behavior

When a set includes *, some methods may have surprising behavior.

For example, #complement treats * as its own number. This way, the #intersection of a set and its #complement will always be empty. This is not how an IMAP server interprets the set: it will convert * to either the number of messages in the mailbox or UIDNEXT, as appropriate. And there will be overlap between a set and its complement after #limit is applied to each:

~Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["*"]  == Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1..(2**32-1)]
~Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1..5] == Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["6:*"]

set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1..5]
(set & ~set).empty? => true

(set.limit(max: 4) & (~set).limit(max: 4)).to_a => [4]

When counting the number of numbers in a set, * will be counted except when UINT32_MAX is also in the set:

UINT32_MAX = 2**32 - 1
Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["*"].count                   => 1
Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1..UINT32_MAX - 1, :*].count => UINT32_MAX

Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["1:*"].count                 => UINT32_MAX
Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[UINT32_MAX, :*].count        => 1
Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[UINT32_MAX..].count          => 1

Constructor Details

.new(input = nil) ⇒ SequenceSet

Create a new SequenceSet object from input, which may be another SequenceSet, an ::Net::IMAP formatted sequence-set string, a number, a range, :*, or an enumerable of these.

Use .[] to create a frozen (non-empty) SequenceSet.

Class Method Details

.[](*values) ⇒ valid frozen sequence set

Returns a frozen SequenceSet, constructed from values.

An empty SequenceSet is invalid and will raise a DataFormatError.

Use .new to create a mutable or empty SequenceSet.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/net/imap/sequence_set.rb', line 305

def [](first, *rest)
  if rest.empty?
    if first.is_a?(SequenceSet) && set.frozen? && set.valid?
      first
    else
      new(first).validate.freeze
    end
  else
    new(first).merge(*rest).validate.freeze
  end
end

.empty

Returns a frozen empty set singleton. Note that valid IMAP sequence sets cannot be empty, so this set is invalid.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/net/imap/sequence_set.rb', line 336

def empty; EMPTY end

.full

Returns a frozen full set singleton: "1:*"

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/net/imap/sequence_set.rb', line 339

def full;  FULL end

.try_convert(obj) ⇒ sequence set?

If obj is a SequenceSet, returns obj. If obj responds_to #to_sequence_set, calls obj.to_sequence_set and returns the result. Otherwise returns nil.

If obj.to_sequence_set doesn’t return a SequenceSet, an exception is raised.

Raises:

def try_convert(obj)
  return obj if obj.is_a?(SequenceSet)
  return nil unless respond_to?(:to_sequence_set)
  obj = obj.to_sequence_set
  return obj if obj.is_a?(SequenceSet)

#[](index) ⇒ Integer, ... #slice(index) ⇒ Integer, ... #[](start, length) ⇒ sequence set? #slice(start, length) ⇒ sequence set? #[](range) ⇒ sequence set? #slice(range) ⇒ sequence set?
Also known as: #slice

Returns a number or a subset from self, without modifying the set.

When an Integer argument index is given, the number at offset index is returned:

set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["10:15,20:23,26"]
set[0]   #=> 10
set[5]   #=> 15
set[10]  #=> 26

If index is negative, it counts relative to the end of self:

set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["10:15,20:23,26"]
set[-1]  #=> 26
set[-3]  #=> 22
set[-6]  #=> 15

If index is out of range, nil is returned.

set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["10:15,20:23,26"]
set[11]  #=> nil
set[-12] #=> nil

The result is based on the normalized set—sorted and de-duplicated—not on the assigned value of #string.

set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["12,20:23,11:16,21"]
set[0]   #=> 11

#delete?(number) ⇒ Integer? #delete?(star) ⇒ :*? #delete?(range) ⇒ sequence set?

Removes a specified value from the set, and returns the removed value. Returns nil if nothing was removed.

Returns an integer when the specified number argument was removed:

set.delete?(-1)  #=> :*
set              #=> #<Net::IMAP::SequenceSet "5:9,20,35">

And returns a new SequenceSet when a range is specified:
