            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.
            7 
            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.
