The evolution-settings capplet was originally designed for Anjal, it was
used in MeeGo as part of the Express Mode effort, but doesn't really fit
in GNOME 3 nowadays (nor did it really fit in GNOME 2, in my opinion).
This is pretty clearly dead weight at this point. The MeeGo developers
have disappeared, and the remaining Evolution developers are not and do
not intend to maintain it. Plus it doesn't even build currently.
Store the Evolution version used to create the backup file in the
evolution.dir file which is part of the tarball.
After restoring the backup file we need to reset the last-used-version
key in GSettings to the version listed in the evolution.dir file so the
proper migration routines run when Evolution is restarted.
This reverses the removal of the "Mark messages as read" preference in
commit e7247d6d60.
I apparently misjudged the popularity of this preference, as there's
been a surprising amout of backlash and confusion as to its removal on
the mailing list, IRC channel, and various distro-support forums.
So, "mea culpa" for removing that one. Haven't heard a peep about the
other removed preferences, however, so they will stay gone.
This adds 'Format as' submenu to the preview pane context menu.
The submenu is available only for text/plain parts or parts
with a source code (we support about 40 various types). Using
the 'highlight' utility, the formatter processes the part and
highlights the source code it contains.
(discussion in bug #680026)
The story on this is a question [1] was recently posed to the mailing
list about what's the different between "Recent Messages" and "Last 5
Days' Messages" as listed in the Show: combo box, and even I could not
answer before looking up the query expression for "Recent Messages" in
the source code (messages received in the past 24 hours, it turns out).
I can't defend why we need both options, and "Last 5 Days' Messages"
is less ambiguous and overlaps the results for "Recent Messages", so
"Last 5 Days' Messages" seems sufficient to me. There are numerous
ways to re-create the "Recent Messages" query if it's still desired:
saved search, search folder, or just sort messages by date received.

em_folder_tree_get_selected_folder() currently blocks, and I'm about to
remove the function. But there's a couple places where we just need to
block for now, else it would require a significant rewrite. So execute
the em_folder_tree_get_selected_folder() logic manually in those places.
This will force Evolution to reconnect to the service using the current
settings. However this is not a complete solution. If the new settings
now point to a completely different mail account, we leave behind cached
messages and database tables from the previous account such that you end
up with some weird hybrid of the previous account and current account.
I guess for now the answer is "don't do that", but we should try to
handle that more gracefully in the future -- more for architectural
correctness than it being a common real world use case.
Fix regression from commit 99a875ed which has broken displaying
of suppressed HTML parts as attachments when the HTML part is embedded
in a multipart/* container.
Commit 6905e9ed885cd1d5be26106d64831a6d35c36bd9 permanently enabled the
on-disk cache in EDS for Google Contacts address books, so the option is now
redundant.
