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.
Add an action group for Search Folders to EMailReader. The action
group's visibility is bound to the "mail-enable-search-folders" setting,
so that menu items related to Search Folders are hidden when Search
Folders are disabled in GConf.
Affected menu items are:
Edit -> Search Folders
Message -> Create Rule -> Search Folder from Subject...
Message -> Create Rule -> Search Folder from Sender...
Message -> Create Rule -> Search Folder from Recipients...
Message -> Create Rule -> Search Folder from Mailing List...
Search -> Create Search Folder From Search...
Configuring and submitting an EActivity for every mail operation is
getting tedious. This function helps reduce boilerplate code by:
* Creating a new EActivity instance.
* Installing an EAlertSink using e_mail_reader_get_alert_sink().
* Installing a GCancellable (which is really a CamelOperation).
* Submitting the activity via e_shell_backend_add_activity().
I'm considering adding a similar function (or class method) for
EShellView. Not sure yet...
Convenience function for use in GAsyncReadyCallback functions.
This acknowledges the cancellation, so that the activity's description
changes from "(cancelling)" to "(cancelled)" and the description appears
crossed out in the UI for a moment before disappearing.
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().
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.
In GTK+ 2.21.8, the keysym names were renamed from GDK_* to GDK_KEY_*.
I've added backward-compatibility macors to gtk-compat.h, which can be
dumped as soon as we require GTK+ >= 2.22.0.
EMailShellContent implements the EMailReader interface but acts as a
proxy for EMailPanedView, from which it obtains MessageList and EWebView
widgets. The problem was both classes call e_mail_reader_init_private()
which connects to signals emitted from the MessageList and EWebView
widgets. But since EMailShellContent is a proxy for EMailPanedView,
the signals were being connected twice.
This commit does away with e_mail_reader_init_private(), instead adding
options to e_mail_reader_init() to control what parts of initialization
to run. It's an ugly and temporary hack.
I'm beginning to realize EMailReader is too bloated and needs rethought.
EMailReader should just manage actions. EMailView should own and manage
the widgets, and EMailReader should just have a get_mail_view() method
so it has access to those widgets. That way the EMailView subclasses
won't have to implement EMailReader themselves and wind up allocating
a bunch of duplicate, unused actions.
It's too close to a stable release to rip these interfaces apart and
reorganize them. I'll try to do that for 2.33 to help make the design
more intuitive.
