1) Remove the limitation that a message can have only one status at a time.
2) Implement watch/ignore thread via message status flags.
ad 1:
- Message status is now kept as a bitfield, which means a message can now be
for example replied and forwarded as well as important at the same time.
- To keep the index format backward compatible and make the transition
painless, I've added a new index entry and added code to transfer the old
into the new format. That means that upgrading users should not notice
anything.
- I've tried to keep as much behavior as possible unchanged with regard to
what flag disables what other flag etc. There are two groups of flags:
read/unread/new/old influence each other, which means a message cannot be
new and read at the same time, for example, while the second group, namely
important, sent, queued, replied, and forwarded are toggled individually.
- Toggling a thread sets the messages status to the inverse of that of the
parent, which means that if you have a thread with some mails marked as
important and some not, the status is set according to that of the parent.
- Status is now kept when moving mails between folders in the same imap
account as well as between imap accounts.
ad 2:
- Watch and ignore are mutually exclusive, which means ignoring a thread
unsets its watched flag and the other way around.
- When sorting by status watched threads are at the top, ignored at the
bottom.
- Watch and ignore propagate via threading, which means that if a message
is threaded below a watched one, it becomes watched. Same for ignore.
- Moving a single mail out of a watched thread results in a new watched
thread of size 1 :)
- Similarly watch and ignore are possible on individual mail (threads
to be).
- Watching a thread does not currently mark new mails as important, nor
does ignoring delete new mails in the thread. These are possible
extensions, though, if we think them sensible.

the first propagating to the latter, and connect the part to it, so kontact
updates the folder name and icon when they are changed.
Kontact folks, feel free to revert if this is not the way you want to do
this. Sorry for touching this without asking for permission. :)
svn path=/trunk/kdepim/; revision=229185
This is a set of changes that is well test by myself and others.
The following bug fixes amongst others are included:
Compilation fix: the certificate dialog now compiles
Mjr bugfix: Prevent mail loss when kmail crashes while editing a
drafts message
Mjr bugfix: Fix erratic folder changing when clicking on the folder
tree
Mjr bugfix: Prevent mail loss when applying filters
The follow features have been implemented:
* KMail is now a KPart and can be embedded in the Kontact/Kaplan
container applications along with other KDE PIM applications.
* Remove duplicates function for removing duplicate messages in
a folder.
* Messages can be dragged and dropped on a composer window to
add those messages as attachments.
* Deletion in threaded mode is improved, child messages will no
longer be scattered when a parent is deleted.
* Multiple messages can now be selected in the search dialog.
* New context menu in the search dialog with Move, Copy, Reply
etc. actions for operating on selected messages.
* Search criteria in the search dialog now supports more types
of rules and a variable number of rules.
* Faster searching of large messsages.
* 'Search Folders' which are a KMail folder that stores a search
expression and is dynamically updated (also known as virtual
folders).
* The separate window for reading mail has a context menu with
Reply, Copy etc. actions for operating on the message
displayed.
* The separate window for reading mail has a tool bar.
* Startup of KMail is faster.
* Switching between folders is faster.
* The contents of all composer windows are saved to disk on
composer window creation and then periodically saved to
prevent mail loss in the result of a system crash.
* The state of KMail folders is saved to disk periodically to
prevent status information loss in the result of a system
crash.
Note after start KMail switching to folders for the first time will
slow as the format of the .sorted file has changed.
Enjoy!

for me the "crash on reply" and "forward message crash" bugs and people
on IRC have been insisting on committing it. So yeah, asynchronous message
handling in KMail is in!!! May the God of Coding have mercy on us...
svn path=/trunk/kdenetwork/kmail/; revision=193386
merged the Makefile.am and add all files that were added in make_it_cool
to get smaller diffs [most of them not yet compiled :]
svn path=/trunk/kdenetwork/kmail/; revision=191335
to write to the sent-mail folder but does have permission for the outbox.
Based on patch by Russell Miller <rmiller@duskglow.com>
svn path=/trunk/kdenetwork/kmail/; revision=157558
Activate them via View-menu or rmb-menu from the tree-header.
Changed the qpopup for the folder-context-menu to kpopup to be consistent with the rest.
svn path=/trunk/kdenetwork/kmail/; revision=153547
- new base class ConfigManager with commit/rollback functionality forced on
subclasses through pure virtuals.
All new managers should inherit this and implement the branching bahaviour
of IdentityManager, so that the configuredialog can work on the branch while
the rest of KMail sees only the "old" configuration.
- new IdentityManager, implementing the ConfigManager for KMIdentity's.
- new Signature class abstracting the signature processing.
- new structure for identities in kmailrc:
o upgrade-signature.pl: Turns the old signature-related config keys into
a sigtype/value scheme.
o kmail-upd-identities.pl: Removes all groups for identities not listed in
[Identity]/IdentityList.
Renames all remaining groups to [Identity #n],
with n starting a 0.
Saves the name of the default identity in
[General]/Default Identity
This adds several new technologies to KMail/KMKernel:
- from the new Signature handling: A service to non-QObjects to collect
StdOut and/or StdErr of KProcess (-derived) classes for them.
- from IdentityManager: A service to ConfigManagers requesting a sync of
kapp->config(). The requests get delayed, so multiple requests can
be serviced with a single kapp->config()->sync().
- from ConfigManager: A service to other ConfigManagers and to GUI elements
that wish to be notified of any change in a particular ConfigManager
implementation: Whenever a commit() changes something, the changed() signal
is emitted.
Included is also a fix for the problem of "no stdin at execute filter"
and the introduction of IdentityCombo.

no longer overwritten by the flags on the server and checking for new mails
only reports the really new mails.
