These libraries are bound for E-D-S so they live at the lowest layer of
Evolution for now -- even libeutil can link to them (but please don't).
This is the first step toward moving mail handing to a D-Bus service.
More mail API churn... reversing some previous API decisions.
I've made some key API changes to EMailSession on the account-mgmt
branch which should allow for this, and will hopefully also benefit
the "email-factory" branch.
EMailBackend barely needs to exist anymore, except as the owner of
EMailSession.
For several low-level functions, we replace its EMailBackend parameter
with EMailSession and EAlertSink parameters; the latter so it can still
pass user alerts up the chain.
This implements https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663527#c3.
Account reordering is now done by drag-and-drop instead of up/down
buttons.
Turned out to be a wee bit more complicated than I initially thought.
This scraps EAccountManager and EAccountTreeView and replaces them with
new classes centered around EMailAccountStore, which EMailSession owns.
EMailAccountStore is the model behind the account list in Preferences.
The folder tree model now uses it to sort its own top-level rows using
gtk_tree_path_compare(). It also broadcasts account operations through
signals so we don't have to rely so heavily on EAccountList signals,
since EAccountList is going away soon.
Also as part of this work, the e-mail-local.h and e-mail-store.h APIs
have been merged into EMailSession and MailFolderCache.
With unintrusive error dialogs gone, we can cut some unnecessary bits
out of EActivity.
I'm also adding a new enum property called "state", which is one of:
E_ACTIVITY_RUNNING
E_ACTIVITY_WAITING
E_ACTIVITY_CANCELLED
E_ACTIVITY_COMPLETED
The state of an activity must be explicitly changed. In particular,
when the user cancels an activity the state should be set only after
confirming the operation has been cancelled and not when cancellation
is requested (e.g. after receiving a G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED, not when
the GCancellable emits "cancelled"). EActivityBar and EActivityProxy
widgets have been updated to make this distinction clearer in the UI.
E_ACTIVITY_WAITING will be used when activities have to be queued and
dispatched in sequence, which I haven't written yet.
And generate GTypes for each of them in e-mail-enumtypes.[ch].
Also, the glib-gen.mak script forced me to add a <mail/e-mail.h>
top-level header, which really isn't a bad idea anyway.
TODO: We should do this for calendar and addressbook too.
This marks the end of unintrusive error dialogs, which were too
unintrusive. We now show errors directly in the main window using
the EAlert / EAlertSink framework.
Global variables in shared libraries are a bad idea. EMailBackend now
owns the MailSession instance, which is actually now EMailSession.
Move the blocking utility functions in mail-tools.c to e-mail-session.c
and add asynchronous variants. Same approach as Camel.
Replace EMailReader.get_shell_backend() with EMailReader.get_backend(),
which returns an EMailBackend. Easier access to the EMailSession.
