GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 201040
default config should include "important" vfolder
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:02:48 UTC
We should ship a default vfolder of important messages in all folders
We should probably include some other defaults, like unmatched, etc.
Is it too late to get this in? At the very least, a default 'important' vfolder might serve as a nice example to people looking for examples of WTF a vfolder actually /is/.
Not at all; all we need to do is edit default_user/vfolders.xml. The only question, as far as I can tell, is what its sources are; I guess we have to stick with local/Inbox. Maybe also ship a vfolder that will pick up the welcome email in the inbox (Mail From Ximian, eg)? It seems to me like this would be an aid in comprehension.
Marking as 1.0, mainly to force someone's hand to either decide it has to be done now or to mark it future.
As a result of the UI freeze today, I'm marking all remaining non-1.0 UI bugs to 'future'. Someone reading this should only change the target back to 1.0 under the following circumstances: 1) The change would not impact documentation. (i.e., 'how to do X' would not have to be changed in any way.) 2) The change would require trivial work for the programmers involved. Most likely, only the programmers themselves are able to judge this. So, if you are not on the evo team, or cannot provide a patch to them for this, you should probably not make any such changes. Sorry that this is going to impact so many irritating bugs, but we have to prioritize our limited resources.
It might be useful to have a 'vfolder' storage config. One that you could remove and add like other storages, put in different locations, etc. We could then put some options on it like which 'default' folders to include (including things like unmatched). This would require a lot of architectural changes mind you :)
This is a very small spit and polish issue (at least the base bug); nominating for 1.1 /consideration/.
Because of the decision to remap 1.1->1.2 and 1.2->1.4, I'm going to be moving a large number of bugs around in the bugzilla. You can just search on 'body contains' 'Because of the decision to remap' and mark all as read. Please direct all questions about this change to evolution@ximian.com, not the bug. Luis
Fixed. I added "Important mail" and "Unread mail" vfolders.
