GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 201157
improved folder tree behavior for IMAP servers
Last modified: 2013-09-10 13:59:32 UTC
ETree emits a node opened signal (not sure of the name), so it's possible to insert a dummy node into the tree, catch the signal, then remove the dummy node and fill in the real tree contents before allowing the ETree to display the contents. So, we should use this functionality for disconnected IMAP servers, because it would be more intuitive than how it is now. This will require IDL.
oops. misfiled this.
OK, peterw points out that this makes no sense unless you know what it means. It's not obvious currently that clicking on the IMAP server will connect to it. What we want is to have it appear as a collapsed tree before you connect to it, and then, when you open the tree, it connects, fills in the content, and opens it. Rather than the current hack where clicking on it selects a view that as a side effect fills in the tree.
