This adds the ability for Geary to push sent mail up to the account's
Sent Mail folder (if available). There's an accompanying account option
that defaults to on (meaning: push sent mail).
The current implementation will leave messages in the Outbox (though
they won't be sent again) if they fail to be pushed to Sent Mail. This
isn't the best solution, but it at least means you have a way of seeing
the problem and hopefully copying the data elsewhere manually if you
need to save it.
Note that Geary might not always recognize an account's Sent Mail
folder. This is the case for any "Other" accounts that don't support
the "special use" or "xlist" IMAP extensions. In this case, Geary will
either throw an error and leave messages in the Outbox, or erase the
message from the Outbox when it's sent, depending on the value of the
account's save sent mail option. Better support for detecting the Sent
Mail folder in every case is coming soon.
Closes: bgo #713263
This rather large patch allows separate IMAP and SMTP credentials
and separates the user's credential username from their email
address. Additional work in this patch includes fixing some minor
protocol bugs in the SMTP stack to work with Postfix, refactoring
the Geary.Engine interface to stop issuing plain strings for
account names, and removing the Geary.EngineAccount abstract class
which was growing unnecessary with each passing day.
Use comments beginning with '///' before potentially difficult
translatable strings. The comments are extracted by xgettext when it is
passed the option '--add-coments="/"'.
- Give the user a "remember password" option that they can uncheck if
they don't want Geary to remember their password. You've seen most of
this part of the patch before, aside from a few bugfixes.
- Display a nicer dialog when re-prompting the user for their password.
This only shows (editable) fields for "password" and "remember
password" by default, with (non-editable) fields for "Service" and
"Real name" available in an expander.
- Fix a crash that occurred whenever an account is connected when there
was previously another account (or the same account) connected.
The login box now prompts for the user's real name and records it in a new
settings file alongside the mail db. Composing messages makes use of the real
name in the From header.
