Re: [evolution-patches] fix for bug #45412 (drafts & sent not settable)

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Do we now cater to the original problem it was trying to fix?

i.e. if the destination store changes, is it propagated to anything that used to reference it?

Probably not ... although we should.

Perhaps we need some indirection here in the url's, somehow.

Should we just pop up a box saying ' you can't do that', although why you can't isn't obvious ...

I think, just don't do the compare, and eventually have it do something to resolve changes automatically.

yea, it probably shouldn't do the uri compare at all. Shoudl I redo the patch to allow the user to set any folder in any of his/her accounts as a drafts/sent folder?

The only problem i have here is that the code was speficially added at
one point in the past:

2001-09-28 Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>

* mail-local.c (mail_local_provider_init): Setup the url_hash and
url_equal functions for the local provider.

* mail-account-gui.c (mail_account_gui_save): Add code here to
check to make sure that the Drafts and Sent folders are pointing
to valid urls. This is kinda nasty and only really solves the case
where the user changes, say, his imap server or
something. Unfortunately we still have the problem where if
account A's sent/drafts folders point to account B's store and the
user changes the url for account B


Why force it to local/the same server, it may as well not have the check
at all?
