Dry run is not all that dry (pilerimport -D wipes imap data)

[Florian Overkamp]

Hi,

I just got started with Mailpiler, and tried to import some messages using pilerimport, as described at http://www.mailpiler.org/wiki/current:importing-emails

However, the combination '-D -r' is not really a dry run. It actually does not import anything into mailpiler (expected), but it does remove the messages from my IMAP server (unexpected). Luckily I have a decent backup, but this is behaviour is not what users might expect when using the dry run option. (definition of a dry run: "a rehearsal of a performance or procedure before the real one" implies that it is non-destructive and that repeating the exact command without -D will still be possible).

Obligatory install details: fresh install:

You are right, this bug has been fixed in the master branch. I'll plan to release the final 1.2.0, we includes this fix.
