Hi Thomas, as of 8382e9a, the widget is probably more or less finished (and in particular, drag-and-drop is already in, at least for attaching something which is available through IMAP).

But there's also some upcoming work by Wim Lewis (who reads us on this list) -- it would be cool if you guys make sure that you don't implement something twice by accident.

Oh, maybe you're talking about a "local" drag-and-drop of some files from a random file manager or other GUI applications. That's not there at this point and I'll be happy to have a patch for that.

When support for attachments is ready, I'll make it speak CATENATE
when saving messages on the IMAP server.
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT
SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE
CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC
ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS AUTH=PLAIN
AUTH=LOGIN

How do you test it =)
(ok, i guess you run a development imap server - impressively complete
list nevertheless)

Cyrus has pretty decent support for CATENATE (and fastmail.fm provides a free service and runs on Cyrus). I see that you're running Dovecot; it has CATENATE in its 2.2 branch, but it isn't finished yet. Isode, a proprietary IMAP implementation, supports it as well, AFAIK.

No works, but i traced the msmtp binary to figure (the config GUI always
snaps back to S-SMTP)

If there's an issue in Trojita's settings widget, please let me know (or submit patches, as usual :) ). I'm able to switch between sendmail and SMTP submission here.

I'm fine wit invoking msmtp - but it needs improvement as well.
Nevertheless trojitá will need a working smtp client because of limited
IMAP servers and the unwill of joe user to install and use sendmail (or
replacements)
I'll see the present state (hopefully i got more time this WE) and what
can profit from either (msmtp needs regular body & header as well)

Agreed. So if you stumble upon a bug in Trojita which prevents it from invoking sendmail/msmtp/whatever in a correct way, please either write a mail or submit a bug in Redmine [1].

MSMTP supports a sendmail-style interface, right?

Afaics the completer cannot complete a comma separated list of
recipients

Each line accepts just a single recipient, that something I don't want to change.

OTOH, the GUI leaves much to be desired -- you're supposed to press enter (or switch focus in any other way) and another line shall appear. That's crude -- patches welcome.

or parse name and address distinctly.
.... It's case sensitive ;-)

Patches welcome :).

If you've configured msmtp i can send you the sources of the frontend
and a dummy abook to have a look - otherwise i'll just borrow code and
send patches for review.

I'm not much interested in a config GUI for a local MSA, but if you have something usable in Trojita, please do send patches.

I suspect there are going to be many different existing address book
implementations, so I guess it'd be best to have a
pluggable/configurable backend for good platform integration.
We'll just need an interface to feed a QList<QPair<QString,
QStringList>> (name, list of mail accounts)

OK, you're probably right. OTOH, when there's something like LDAP involved, a better completion API is "hey, dear addressbook, give me any completions for this user's input: 'fred s'". I'd prefer to have it this way to be future-proof, but you can still persuade me that this isn't worth the effort.

I didn't find anything more of a "standard" (every mail client somehow
uses it's own addressbook format)
Also it's old[1] as a rock and mutt compatible ;-)

I'll use it as sample implementation for a generic addressbook interface
then.

Sounds like a plan -- let's use it, then.

Cheers and have fun,
Jan
