[Evolution-hackers] Understanding Camel

[Dave Kelly]

Hello

In trying to understand the camel provider model I have a few questions:

0) How can I get some debugging output out of a camel provider ? printf, fprintf and g_print all seem to have no effect.

1) I am writing a provider for a remote store. When setting up a new account using the config druid, an attempt is made to log on to the remote store but it does not seem possible to be able to prompt for a password. I have lifted the following code out of the IMAP provider:

prompt = g_strdup_printf (_("%sPlease enter the IMAP "
"password for %s@%s"),
errbuf ? errbuf : "",
service->url->user,
service->url->host);
service->url->passwd =
camel_session_get_password (
session, prompt, TRUE,
service, "password", ex);
g_free (prompt);
g_free (errbuf);


This is never displayed in the druid.

The issue I have here is that, on my remote store, it is possible to lock an account after a number of unsuccessful login attempts. If the druid fails to login, which it always does, this will increment the failed login count on the server.

I'd like to be able to drop out of the routine if the call is being made from the druid. I thought that CAMEL_IS_SESSION would solve this as that's one of the assertions in camel_session_get_password but adding a check for this has no effect.

2) What is the flow of calls to a provider ? I have set up a call to the get_folder_info method of a store class so that it immediately returns an exception but, probably related to question (0), I am seeing no output. I would like to know when, in the process of using the mail client, each method of the store and folder classes is called.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers

Dave.
