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.
All mail-parsing and formatting code has been moved to em-format.
Parsing is handeled by EMailParser class, formatting by EMailFormatter.
Both classes have registry which hold extensions - simple classes
that do actual parsing and formatting. Each supported mime-type
has it's own parser and formatter extension class.
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).
Add a --with-capplet configure switch defaulting to 'no'. The capplet
will eventually be removed unless I see someone actively maintaining it.
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.
My apologies for flip-flopping the API again.
e-mail-store.c functions used to take an EMailSession, then I changed
it to take an EMailBackend in preparation for my account-mgmt branch.
Having rethought some API decisions on the branch, however, the first
flip-flop proved to be unnecessary. And now Srini needs the API to use
EMailSession for his mail-factory branch, so I'm flip-flopping again.
I pushed a few EShell features up to GtkApplication for GTK+ 3.2,
so we can now trim off the redundancies in EShell.
1) GtkApplication has a new "window-added" signal which replaces
EShell's own "window-created" signal.
2) GtkApplication has a new "window-removed" signal which replaces
EShell's own "window-destroyed" signal.
3) gtk_application_get_windows() now returns a list of windows sorted
by most recently focused, replacing e_shell_get_watched_windows().
4) GtkApplication now provides enough hooks to subclasses that we can
remove e_shell_watch_window() and call gtk_application_add_window()
directly.
Use camel_session_list_services() instead of the internal store table.
The store table serves little purpose nowadays and could probably be
removed. I'll look into that later.
There were a few places where we were accessing the folder tree model
directly to get the selected store + folder name, or were asking for the
selected URI only to parse back into its store + folder name components.
All this so EMFolderTree can submit EActivity instances for async ops.
You can obtain an EMailSession from an EMailBackend, but not vice versa.
Creates lots of pretty ripples in the mail code, but ultimately reduces
complexity. So it's a code cleanup of sorts.
This starts up the EMailShellBackend whenever a new composer window is
created. Normally this happens when switching to the Mail shell view,
but if trying to send a message from a different shell view before the
Mail shell view is ever activated, the mail accounts were not getting
loaded and sending or saving the message to a mail folder would fail.
This one's a little involved:
- EMailShellView now obtains a CamelFolder itself in response to
EMFolderTree::folder-selected signals. Uses EActivity to do so.
- Revise EMFolderTree::folder-selected signal arguments to be more
useful: emit a CamelStore object instead of a folder URI.
- Also revise EMFolderTree::folder-activiated signal arguments the
same way while we're at it.
- Remove the "folder_uri" argument from e_mail_reader_set_folder().
If you have a CamelFolder object you can obtain the URI string by
calling camel_folder_get_uri().
If the migration phase has to show a dialog the idle callback for
intializing mail stores will run too soon. Instead, hook it onto
the EShellBackend start() method.
Migration code can initialize mail stores early if it needs to.
To reduce GConf usage in em-composer-utils.c:
- Relevant functions in em-composer-utils.c now take arguments for
reply and forward styles.
- Redundant forwarding functions were removed:
em_utils_forward_attached()
em_utils_forward_inline()
em_utils_forward_quoted()
- EMailReader now has "forward-style" and "reply-style" properties,
which get bound to the appropriate EShellSettings properties in
modules/mail/e-mail-config-reader.c. These same EShellSettings
properties are bound to the combo boxes in Composer Preferences.
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.
