This commit adds support for IMAP-specific properties, of which UIDValidity is crucial toward completing #3805. The additional code is to integrate these tables into the SQLite Geary backend and to make sure this information is requested from the IMAP server.
NOTE: This commit changes the database schema. Old databases will need to be blown away before running.
Fields added. However, it would be nice to use formatting to separate them from the body of the message. This is not easy with Gtk.TextView/Gtk.TextBuffer; see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59390. This may push us to move to Webkit earlier rather than later.
Now supporting folder heirarchies. The client will now descend looking for subfolders. This task now opens up multiple outstanding requests to the Engine as well as exercises the database schema.
Closing this ticket opens the door to finishing #3692.
This commit introduces lazy loading of folder contents, which allows the Engine to report back email in chunks rather than all at once (which might require a round-trip to the server). This allows for the local database results to be returned to the caller right away while background I/O is occuring.
The code base is growing much faster than expected, faster than Shotwell it seems (not necessarily line count, but files and necessary organization of the library vs. Shotwell's initial flat directory). After some thought decided to move to a more standard Vala/GTK naming scheme of all lowercase with dashes for spaces starting with namespace (minus the "geary-", unless the class was in the topmost namespace). Three motivations:
1. Often confusing when working on code to see three "Folder.vala" in the gedit tabs: one IMAP, one SQLite, and one the interface definition.
2. This paves the way for waf integration, as right now we're held up using it because it barfs on projects with two files of the same name in different directories.
3. I find the CamelCase in the file browser becoming hard on the eyes, and this scheme seems a little more browsable.
