-------- Forwarded Message -------- From: David Woodhouse <dwmw2 infradead org> To: release-team gnome org Cc: evolution-hackers gnome org Subject: [Evolution-hackers] String change request for Evolution Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 00:10:58 +0000 I've diagnosed a bug in Lotus Domino IMAP server that we need to work around in Evolution's IMAP client: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645332 The simple workaround is to disable multi-part fetches and just get the whole message in one go. That code path *is* tested, because we were doing it for small messages anyway. Doing it for large messages means that the connection is blocked while the whole of the message is downloaded, so other, higher-priority user requests can't be handled — and it means that the progress indication doesn't work. That's why it was never an option before, but it *does* suffice to work around the server bug, so it does seem to be necessary. So I'd like permission to break the string freeze to add this option. If anyone has improved suggestions for the English strings to use, that would make me happy. I wanted to do a positive option for "Fetch messages in multiple parts, to allow better responsiveness", which would default to TRUE. But when we upgrade Evolution, any new option will be assumed to be FALSE in any pre-existing account. So AFAICT it has to be a *negative* option, along the lines of "Fetch messages in one part". -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David Woodhouse intel com Intel Corporation
