Since I presume they can point to anywhere, then making them use the account-id scheme would make sense. > > - they do this via a unique id which gets assigned to an account when > > it is created. > > We already have this, in the form of EAccount.

Possibly something like that. We do actually need the store too (for the folder list), but that could be another function.

Yeah, it already does this, although the code could possibly be simplified. _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
