Description Dan Winship 2001-01-16 20:56:26 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.
Comment 2 Dan Winship 2001-07-26 19:54:59 UTC 
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.
