Re: [Evolution-hackers] Error dialogs in evolution data server plugin

Scott,

IMAP/Camel runs in the address space of Evolution and it would be
different in this case, as EDS is a different process altogether and the
clients speak Bonobo or DBUS to EDS. May be another API... donno? I
really need to see the code to suggest something. Chenthill may have
some thought/ideas here.

I'm not sure I get how I could do that in the context of a eds plugin. Is it possible? Somewhere there's code that does that...because an IMAP account that is talking to a server that doesn't have a proper certificate will cause Evo to display a dialog box that allows the user to choose whether they want to accept that certificate. I would like to do the same thing, but I just cannot figure out how.
