It certainly would. Does any upper-level component do any string

fi = {
.name = evolution;

Would that wreck havoc up-source?
The full_name may be strcpy'd, so if that is a \0 and not a \\0, then i
doubt it would work.
It wouldn't work anyway, you'd have to add it to every folder name in
the path.
If you list:
Inbox-UID
Inbox/evolution-UID
That wont work, since the parent path must be able to be found by
stripping off the /.* off a given path.
Yes, and it won't work for even more reasons. A .name like child'\0'
would expand into parent'\0'/child'\0' with more than one '\0'...
Now ... with IMAP, the path we list doesn't map to the server name
directly either.

You could do something like this to store the real folder name/id, and
have a mapping function, using some fat-like 'low impact' munging to
give you a unique name that isn't too messy, in the few cases you have
overlaps.
I just got another idea. Is trailing whitespace ever removed from a name
being it full or not?
I could then add one or more trailing ' 's to any name to make it unique
among other folders with identical display name. Like this:
fi_a = {
.name = evolution ;
.full_name = Inbox /evolution ;
};
fi_b = {
.name = evolution ;
.full_name = Inbox /evolution ;
};
and keep an internal mapping table that gives me the entryid for any
given full name.
These name are as unique as any other string could be, you can strcpy()
it without any ill effects and you can strip off the /* for any given
path to get the parent name.
A folder name without any trailing ' ' would indicate that the folder
hasn't got an entryid yet. This won't happen on Exchange before it is
committed to db.
This scheme has the added advantage of producing names that looks
identical to the human eye as we are prone to overlook ' ' characters,
especially the trailing ones.

If you want to use the same session, just implementing the send_to method should do. You could get the service object from CamelTransport and further get the pointer to the CamelStore. Getting a session from the store should be easy. Something like: CAMEL_SERVICE_CLASS(parent_class)-connect(service, ex); from within the transport connect() method? yup. you could do it. Should be no problem. Guess its a clean way to do it. Partha, what are you saying here? parent_class.connect() will only call the super-class method. Transport doesn't derive from Store, they both derive from Service. So if you want to share the connect() implementation from both classes, then it must be implemented in a sharable manner, and not separately. I just noticed this recently added wiki entry: http://go-evolution.org/Camel.Transport#Example:_Sending_a_message where camel_service_connect() is used.

[Evolution-hackers] [CAMEL] CamelFolderInfo clarification please...
Hi,
I think that I know how to interpret CamelFolderInfo but I would really
appreciate to have my understanding confirmed in the context of
get_folder_info().
CamelFolderInfo is declared as:
typedef struct _CamelFolderInfo {
struct _CamelFolderInfo *next;
struct _CamelFolderInfo *parent;
struct _CamelFolderInfo *child;
char *uri;
char *name;
char *full_name;
guint32 flags;
guint32 unread;
guint32 total;
} CamelFolderInfo;
get_folder_info() is declared as:
static CamelFolderInfo*
brutus_get_folder_info(CamelStore *store,
const char *top,
guint32 flags,
CamelException *ex);
My understanding is:
next: A pointer to a CamelFolderInfo structure for the next folder on
the same tree-level as the current one. The current folder is top.
parent: If top is NULL then parent is NULL too. If top is non-NULL
then parent is a pointer to the CamelFolderInfo structure for the folder
containing top
child: This one is the one I am mostly confused about. I think that it
is an array of pointers to CamelFolderInfo structures of all folders
which is contained within top. The array is terminated with NULL.
uri: A string based upon the Camel.Service uri and the full folder name.
Its format is otherwise totally unspecified except that it must uniquely
identify a given folder. It does not seem to be used anywhere else in
Camel. Design oversight?
name: A basename()-ish version of full_name.
full_name: An absolute path to top.
flags: Flags describing top.
unread: The number of unread message objects in top.
total: The total number of message objects in top.
Could someone please confirm that my interpretation is correct?
Thanks a lot in advance,
jules

It does a lot more than that. getv provides info based on the type of

check the 'folder_getv' method in camel-folder.c. The implementation is

Looking at folder_getv() raises memory handling questions. See e.g:

array-pdata[i] =
g_strdup(camel_message_info_uid(info));
camel_message_info_free(info);
}
}
*arg-ca_ptr = array;
break; }
### snip #
arg-ca_ptr must be freed while folder-name is managed by the folder

I suppose the following modification could be made to be more clear:
char *
camel_header_unfold(const char *in)
{
char *out = g_malloc(strlen(in)+1);
const char *inptr = in;
char c, *o = out;
o = out;

} while (*inptr == ' ' || *inptr == '\t');
*o++ = ' ';
Might be nitpicking, but RFC 2822 says:
The process of moving from this folded multiple-line representation
of a header field to its single line representation is called
unfolding. Unfolding is accomplished by simply removing any CRLF
that is immediately followed by WSP. Each header field should be
treated in its unfolded form for further syntactic and semantic
evaluation.
So it appears to me that too much is being removed above. Shouldn't the
unfolding operation simply remove the CRLF and nothing else?

[Evolution-hackers] Weird logic in Camel Groupwise provider...
Hi,
The GW provider has this code snippet in
camel-groupwise-folder.c:gw_update_cache():
# snip ###
mi = (CamelGroupwiseMessageInfo *)camel_folder_summary_uid
(folder-summary, id);
if (mi) {
exists = TRUE;
camel_message_info_free (mi-info); // == unref
}
if (!exists) {
type = e_gw_item_get_item_type (item);
if ((type == E_GW_ITEM_TYPE_CONTACT) || (type ==
E_GW_ITEM_TYPE_UNKNOWN)) {
exists = FALSE;
continue;
}
mi = camel_message_info_new (folder-summary);
if (mi-info.content == NULL) {
mi-info.content =
camel_folder_summary_content_info_new (folder-summary);
mi-info.content-type = camel_content_type_new
(multipart, mixed);
}
}
## snip ##
What I do not understand is that mi is being unref-ed right after
having confirmed that mi indeed is a reference to an existing message
info. The source then proceeds to populate mi with new data without
releasing the pre-existing data in the info (such as to, from and
subject).
The mi structure members are just being overwritten. Doesn't this lead
to memory leaks?
Another thing is that the mi structure can suddenly vanish if another
thread unrefs it.
This shouldn't work if my reading of the source is correct, so I must
obviously be missing something very fundamental here :-(
Could someone please help me understand what I am missing?
Thanks a lot,
jules

I am trying to invoke e_passwords_ask_password() from a standalone

miserably with a segv. The segv is in gtk_icon_set_render_icon() and I
have no idea of why this happens.
The standalone test code that calls e_passwords_ask_password() is rather
trivial. Essentially linking all the right libraries, including all the
right headers and just doing:
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
gboolean remember = FALSE;
char *password = NULL;
g_type_init();
g_thread_init(NULL);
password = e_passwords_ask_password(Enter password,

prompt,
E_PASSWORDS_REMEMBER_NEVER,
remember,
NULL);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;

[Evolution-hackers] How do I query a password from a calendar backend?
Hi, I am having difficulties using e_passwords_ask_password() from with my calendar backend. I am trying to query the password from within the open_sync() method. I have tried wrapping the e_passwords_ask_password() in gdk_threads_enter()/gdk_threads_leave() but that will only result in Evolution freezing when invoking e_passwords_ask_password(). Not doing the gdk_threads_enter()/gdk_threads_leave() wrapping will make Xlib complain about an unexpected async call. I can not simply put auth=1 in the gconf source as that would force a password dialog to open even if I didn't want one to open. So I need a way to query a password from the user when a password is really needed. So, what can I do except from launching an external helper application? In Camel I could use camel_session_get_password(). Is there anything like that from within a calendar backend?

Hi Chenthill, On Thu, 2006-05-04 at 22:16 +0530, Chenthill wrote: Hi jules, It is not a good idea to prompt password from the backend. Probably you could write a plugin in evolution for creating the specific calendar and check if you need authentication before setting the auth property. e_password_get_password would get the password if the password has been remembered. Thanks for the advise. I've tried different approaches and have settled on an external helper application that pops up the libedataserverui password GUI and saves the password in gnome-keyring. My problem is that I want the mail account to integrate with the calendar and tasks backends. This means that one password query for an Exchange account is all that it should take for mail, calendar and task accounts to logon to Exchange using evolution-brutus. I really dislike the idea of having separate password/settings dialogs for the calendar, mail and tasks even though they in reality refer to the very same Exchange mailbox. My approach integrates these account(s) into a single user-perceived account - the mail account. Once the mail account is configured it automatically enables the Exchange Calendar and Tasks in the Evolution UI. This works just fine here.

[Evolution-hackers] When do open_sync() gets called from a calendar backend?

Hi Scott, On Mon, 2006-07-10 at 16:48 -0700, Scott Herscher wrote: Hey Jules! Thanks a lot for your reply. I know my questions weren't so clearly worded. So I guess I can boil down my questions to this question (and least until I think of more questions): is there a one-to-one relationship between an e-source and an e-cal backend? There is a one-to-one relationship between an e-source and an e-cal backend object instance. The same physical backend library can serve multiple calendars/task/whatever accounts. For my purposes, I don't think it would work to hide the multiple calendars and only display one calendar. So I think I'm going to have to create an e-source for every calendar. I'm just not sure how that relates to e-cal backend. Again...any help would be greatly appreciated. Any e-source with the right protocol (brutus:// in my case, maybe zimbra:// in yours) will make the eds frontend instantiate an e-cal backend object for that specific e-source. The supported e-cal backend protocol is returned by the factory method _get_protocol(). You have to check for the specifics (what calendar in particular) by looking at the e-source from within your backend. Just hide something that identifies the particular calendar within the e-source uri.

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Visual indication of online/offline?
Hi Srini, On Wed, 2006-12-06 at 17:20 +, Srinivasa Ragavan wrote: Hey Jules, I have some plans on the intrusive error dialogs stuff. I dont think I can work on the current release time frame. May be post 2.10 is what I'm looking at. Basically cancel-able should be tasks, with a 'x' button in the status bar. If any errors occur, a '!' next to the status bar text and a visual cue to indicate error, which user can click and see the respective errors. The user can choose to see or cancel all tasks/errors and no more intrusive popups. All background/foreground tasks will have a visible entry in the status bar. This is an initial idea I had, but Im sure, there could be lots of improvements to it. Sounds like a good way to do it. Please tell me when you have something that I can test so that I can give you some constructive feedback. The idea of having a visual indication at the store level is good. This idea will also add more value if we can have store level online/offline state. Exactly. I've recently put a great deal of work into getting evolution-brutus to handle various offline situations gracefully and it is really annoying to see the Sorry the folder is offline popup every time I click on an offline folder. Please do remember that there are tree kinds of offline mode at the store level: 1) A store level version of the current offline mode. This mode basically say Please do not attempt to pull mail from the server, thanks. It is therefore not an error but merely a user request. The present implementation lack the ability to put the store in real offline mode. All it does, as far as I can see, is to disable the periodic mail check. Which lead us to: 2) A store level voluntary offline mode. This is more than the current offline state. A user requesting to be put in voluntary offline mode knows that he will be truly offline. This could be a user which is about to disconnect his laptop. This is therefore not an error condition either. 3) A store level hard offline mode. This mode indicates that the provider can't communicate flawlessly (if at all) with the remote server. It might be down or something. It is therefore a true error condition. 1), 2) and 3) should therefore be signalled differently to the user. The user will have to deal with 2) or 3) every time he clicks on a voluntary or hard offline folder. It is therefore not always convenient to throw an exception (with will show a popup window) each and every time. I will propose the following scheme: Voluntary offline - The user can choose to go into voluntary offline mode. This mode is not an error condition, so it should not be signalled as one. The store and all of its folder should look like a disabled UI element, like a disabled button. Hard offline The store is technically incapable of communication with the remote server. This is a true error condition and should therefore promptly be presented to the user with a popup windows (CamelException) the first time the error is encountered. No other popup windows should be shown in subsequent store operations, but the store should make it very clear that the error persists by showing some dramatic visual indication of the error. The store might be blinking in bright red or something. The user can choose to put the store in voluntary offline mode while his admin fixes the problem. Much of the above is store level implementation tasks, but the ability to do the proposed signaling to the user is something that must be supported by up-source e-d-s code.

[Evolution-hackers] camel_operation_cancel_check() not working?
Hi,
I have a big and potentially slow loop running when updating the folder
summaries. I'm basically initializing a CamelOperation like this:
CamelOperation *cop = camel_operation_registered();
if (!cop) {
cop = camel_operation_new (NULL, NULL);
if (!cop)
return;
camel_operation_register(cop);
cop_unreg = TRUE;
}
camel_operation_start(cop, _(Fetching folder summary information));
camel_operation_progress(cop, 0);
Then in the loop I do like this:
do {
if (camel_operation_cancel_check(cop)) {
d(Cancelled);
camel_exception_set(ex,
CAMEL_EXCEPTION_USER_CANCEL,
_(Fetching folder summary information
canceled));
goto cancelled;
}
do lots of stuff
cancelled:
camel_operation_progress(cop, 100);
camel_operation_end(cop);
if (cop_unreg)
camel_operation_unregister(cop);
camel_operation_unref(cop);
break;
} while (TRUE);
Now I expect that I'm able to press cancel after pressing f9 and have my
loop exit gracefully.
In what way do I err?

Is there any way to either resolve these issues in Evo itself, or else get them resolved by whomever manages the libraries? I don't have an answer to your immediate question but I have thought about Evolution's debug/logging facilities a bit. A lot of good debugging information is disabled in the released tarballs using this technique: #define d(x) ... d(printf (Useful debugging info...)); A developer or interested hacker then has to redefine d as #define d(x) x and recompile to unlock those debug messages. The problem with this is there's no central logging mechanism that all the messages flow through, so adding a timestamp as you suggested (and an excellent suggestion it is) would require changing all the messages individually. Instead, we should better utilize GLib's logging features. For starters, change all debug messages over to g_debug (Useful debugging info...); and give each Makefile.am a unique G_LOG_DOMAIN. Then register a handler function for all DEBUG-level messages. Depending on whether a DEBUG message's log domain is turned on or off (off by default), the handler function could time-stamp and print the message or silently eat it, respectively. Log domains could be turned on perhaps by way of an environment variable (and/or make the --debug option actually do something useful): EVO_DEBUG=colon:separated:list:of:logging:domains There's a lot we could do here. These are just a few ideas. Something to shoot for in Evolution 2.14, perhaps? Further discussion should be moved to evolution-hackers. Hereby moved. Maybe something like what I do in e-b could be used or maybe inspire evo debugging... I've had many of the same problems that Paul describes. One of the most annoying ones was that I had to start evolution and e-d-s in separate terminals to get debugging output from both. My solution was to write a small log daemon and then use a combination of macros and utility functions to write to the log daemon. The result can be seen if you download this tarball: http://www.omesc.com/sites/default/files/downloads/dist/evolution-brutus/SOURCES/evolution-brutus-1.1.29.8.tar.gz and inspect the log sub-directory as well as 'server/brutus.h' and 'server/brutus_debug.c'. All logging happens conditionally depending on whether the BRUTUS_DEBUG environment variable is defined and whether or not debugging has been enabled at compile time. Timestamps are on or off depending on yet another environment variable.
