+/* Auto-Sync
+ *
+ * Background:
+ * it works only with offline imap folders. "autosync_offline_stores" pref
+ * enables/disables auto-sync mechanism. Note that setting "autosync_offline_stores"
+ * to false, or setting folder to not-offline doesn't stop synchronization
+ * process for already queued folders.
+ *
+ * Auto-Sync policy:
+ * o It kicks in during system idle time, and tries to download as much messages
+ * as possible based on given folder and message prioritization strategies/rules.
+ * Default folder prioritization strategy dictates to sort the folders based on the
+ * following order: INBOX > DRAFTS > SUBFOLDERS > TRASH.
+ * Similarly, default message prioritization strategy dictates to download the most
+ * recent and smallest message first. Also, by sorting the messages by size in the
+ * queue, it tries to maximize the number of messages downloaded.
+ * o It downloads the messages in groups. Default groups size is defined by |kDefaultGroupSize|.
+ * o It downloads the messages larger than the group size one-by-one.
+ * o If new messages arrive when not idle, it downloads the messages that do fit into
+ * |kFirstGroupSizeLimit| size limit immediately, without waiting for idle time, unless there is
+ * a sibling (a folder owned by the same imap server) in stDownloadInProgress state in the q
+ * o If new messages arrive when idle, it downloads all the messages without any restriction.
+ * o If new messages arrive into a folder while auto-sync is downloading other messages of the
+ * same folder, it simply puts the new messages into the folder's download queue, and
+ * re-prioritize the messages. That behavior makes sure that the high priority
+ * (defined by the message strategy) get downloaded first always.
+ * o If new messages arrive into a folder while auto-sync is downloading messages of a lower
+ * priority folder, auto-sync switches the folders in the queue and starts downloading the
+ * messages of the higher priority folder next time it downloads a message group.
+ * o Currently there is no way to stop/pause/cancel a message download. The smallest
+ * granularity is the message group size.
+ * o Auto-Sync manager periodically (kAutoSyncFreq) checks folder for existing messages
+ * w/o bodies. It persists the last time the folder is checked in the local database of the
+ * folder. We call this process 'Discovery'. This process is asynchronous and processes
+ * |kNumberOfHeadersToProcess| number of headers at each cycle. Since it works on local data,
+ * it doesn't consume lots of system resources, it does its job fast.
+ * o Discovery is necessary especially when the user makes a transition from not-offline
+ * to offline mode.
+ * o Update frequency is defined by nsMsgIncomingServer::BiffMinutes.
+ *
+ * Error Handling:
+ * o if the user moves/deletes/filters all messages of a folder already queued, auto-sync
+ * deals with that situation by skipping the folder in question, and continuing with the
+ * next in chain.
+ * o If the message size is zero, auto-sync ignores the message.
+ * o If the download of the message group fails for some reason, auto-sync tries to
+ * download the same group |kGroupRetryCount| times. If it still fails, continues with the
+ * next group of messages.
+ *
+ * Download Model:
+ * Parallel model should be used with the imap servers that do not have any "max number of sessions
+ * per IP" limit, and when the bandwidth is significantly large.
+ *
+ * How it really works:
+ * The AutoSyncManager gets an idle notification. First it processes any
+ * folders in the discovery queue (which means it schedules message download
+ * for any messages it previously determined it should download). Then it sets
+ * a timer, and in the timer callback, it processes the update q, by calling
+ * InitiateAutoSync on the first folder in the update q.

+How queues inter-relate:
+
+nsAutoSyncState has an internal priority queue to store messages waiting to be
+downloaded. nsAutoSyncMsgStrategy object determines the order in this queue,
+nsAutoSyncManager uses this queue to manage downloads. Two events cause a
+change in this queue:
+
+1) nsImapMailFolder::HeaderFetchCompleted: is triggered when TB notices that
+there are pending messages on the server -- via IDLE command from the server,
+via explicit select from the user, or via automatic Update during idle time. If
+it turns out that there are pending messages on the server, it adds them into
+nsAutoSyncState's download queue.
+
+2) nsAutoSyncState::ProcessExistingHeaders: is triggered for every imap folder
+every hour or so (see kAutoSyncFreq). nsAutoSyncManager uses an internal queue called Discovery
+queue to keep track of this task. The purpose of ProcessExistingHeaders()
+method is to check existing headers of a given folder in batches and discover
+the messages without bodies, in asynchronous fashion. This process is
+sequential, one and only one folder at any given time, very similar to
+indexing. Again, if it turns out that the folder in hand has messages w/o
+bodies, ProcessExistingHeaders adds them into nsAutoSyncState's download queue.
+
+Any change in nsAutoSyncState's download queue, notifies nsAutoSyncManager and
+nsAutoSyncManager puts the requesting nsAutoSyncState into its internal
+priority queue (called mPriorityQ) -- if the folder is not already there.
+nsAutoSyncFolderStrategy object determines the order in this queue. This queue
+is processed in two modes: chained and parallel.
+
+i) Chained: One folder per imap server any given time. Folders owned by
+different imap servers are simultaneous.
+
+ii) Parallel: All folders at the same time, using all cached-connections -
+a.k.a 'Folders gone wild' mode.
+
+The order the folders are added into the mPriorityQ doesn't matter since every
+time a batch completed for an imap server, nsAutoSyncManager adjusts the order.
+So, lets say that updating a sub-folder starts downloading message immediately,
+when an higher priority folder is added into the queue, nsAutoSyncManager
+switches to this higher priority folder instead of processing the next group of
+messages of the lower priority one. Setting group size too high might delay
+this switch at worst.
+
+And finally, Update queue helps nsAutoSyncManager to keep track of folders
+waiting to be updated. With the latest change, we update one and only one
+folder at any given time. Default frequency of updating is 10 min (kDefaultUpdateInterval).
+We add folders into the update queue during idle time, if they are not in mPriorityQ already.
