[Evolution-hackers] Re: Setting to enable user not to copy sent-items

[Not Zed <notzed novell com>]

I don't understand why this is needed.  The setting is per-account, the account setup can configure this for the user.  It definitely makes the 'sent' folder behaviour much more confusing and more difficult to set up.

Is there a good reason for adding this option?

When Evolution is used to connect to such type of server, the user may not require Evolution to copy sent items into any folder. So a new setting can be included in Evolution, a GtkCheckButton, which on checking enables the folder-selection-frame for Sent Items, in the account editor dialog, as shown in the attached figure. This necessitates a new boolean member, copy_sent_items_locally in the EAccount structure. This variable should reflect the new  GtkCheckButton that is created.
