	Hi,
I'm not much sure what you are trying to do, but even you probably know,
the e_source_get_uri uses ESourceGroup's base uri and a relative uri of
the ESource to build the full uri, if not built/set an absolute uri on
the ESource already.

Are you going to change ESourceGroup's base_uri to contain only the
protocol for all the ESourceGroups? If yes, then I think it's not the
best thing, because for example evolution-mapi uses as base uri
"mapi://user server/", and each account you have configured and enabled
in the preferences has its own group. It cannot be distinguished just by
"mapi://", because for example (I believe) every user has its default
calendar named "Calendar".
	Hope that helps,
