Re: [Evolution-hackers] Quit Event Hook

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

I guess it makes sense.  Not sure if you'd be able to do this though.

Quitting is ... definitely the most complicated process in the entire application.  You can't just call a synchronous callback and expect things to work.  e.g. quitting shuts down threads and connections and stuff, and the order is terribly complicated and tricky.  And some things deadlock if you try to do them synchronously.  etc.  I guess it might work, but it might not be easy.

I think much better just to add a bit to the camel_store_sync() call to say expunge junk as well as expunge trash.  It already has an 'expunge' bool, just make that a bitfield instead.
