1 # A Guide to scripting Rohrpost

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.

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.
