available). Deal with servers that don't return LIST flags in response to LSUB (like UW) to get rid of the "not a selectable folder" error messages in the UI. Take advantage of the \Marked and \Unmarked flags to try to speed up the folder scan by not doing STATUS on unmarked folders. Some further tweaks on the shape of the resulting folder tree in various situations... * camel-store.h: Remove the (read) message_count, since nothing uses it, and we can speed up IMAP a bit this way. * camel-store.c (camel_folder_info_build): Redo this a bit to make it more useful for IMAP since that's the only thing that uses it. * camel-remote-store.c (camel_remote_store_connected): Public function to check if the store is connected, and try to connect it if it's not. (remote_send_string, remote_send_stream, remote_recv_line): Use that. * providers/imap/camel-imap-store.c (camel_imap_store_finalize): fix up for changes. (camel_imap_store_init): Initialize subscribed_folders to NULL rather than an empty hash table. (imap_connect): Get the list of subscribed folders here. If the server doesn't claim that any of them are either Marked or Unmarked, then assume that it doesn't do that for LSUB and remember that for later. If the server supports the NAMESPACE extension and the user didn't specify a namespace, use the server-provided one. (imap_disconnect): Free the list of subscribed folders, and the namespace. (get_folder): check camel_remote_store_connected (get_folder_info): check camel_remote_store_connected. Add a bunch of new cleverness. If we learned that the server doesn't do LSUB usefully, do a bunch of LISTs by hand. Then, if we're getting unread counts, only do it for folders that weren't listed as Unmarked. Also, deal with namespaces that end with the separator character, and update for changes to camel_folder_info_build. (folder_subscribed): Add a g_return_val_if_fail. (subscribe_folder, unsubscribe_folder): check camel_remote_store_connected. * providers/nntp/camel-nntp-store.c (build_folder_info, build_folder_info_from_grouplist, nntp_store_get_folder_info): Don't fill in message_count since it doesn't exist any more. svn path=/trunk/; revision=7343
CAMEL
A generic Messaging Library
----
Introduction:
-------------
Camel will be a generic messaging library. It will evntually support
the standard messaging system for receiving and sending messages.
It aims at being the backend for the future gnome-mailer system.
The name "camel" stands for ... nothing. Open area of development there.
You know, that "bazaar" thing. Maybe could we organize a big contest on
gnome-list to find the best explanation :)
Camel draws heavily from JavaMail and the IMAP4rev1 RFC. People
wanting to hack on a provider should read the JavaMail API
specification, but CMC and MAPI are of interest too.
Please, before starting anything, wait for me to finish the abstract
classes. Some parts are not definitive yet.
Organization:
-------------
The library is roughly a set of abstract classes, some kind of generic
"interfaces" (idl interfaces, not java interfaces ).
Particular implementations are called providers.
Here are the basic objects:
* CamelService : an abstract class representing an access to a server.
Handles the connection and authentication to any server.
* CamelStore (CamelService): A hierarchy of folders on a server.
* CamelFolder : An object containing messages. A folder is always
associated with a store.
* CamelMessage : An object contained in folders. Is defined by a set
of attributes and a content. (Attributes include: the date it was
received, the sender address, .....)
* CamelTransport (CamelService): A way to send messages.
