GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 326901
Integration of the "self" contact with the account setup wizard
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:09:10 UTC
e-d-s can store a "self" contact, accessible via e_book_get_self. There are several areas where the integration could be improved. When creating an account: When creating an account, it would be nice if there was a set of radio options at the top of the Identity page: (*) Configure my home email address ( ) Configure my work email address ( ) Configure another email address Evolution could then query e_book_get_self. If it exists, then prepopulate the name and email address based on the home/work address. Upon completion of the account wizard, evolution could: (i) if the "self" contact doesn't exist, create it (ii) if home/work was selected on the Identity page, write the email address into the "self" contact.
I think it's a good idea. Is it simple enough to be marked gnome-love bug ?
Re comment #1: I'm not sure about the complexity, sorry. You might also want to look at bug 326899
Bumping version to a stable release.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
