[GOA/UOA] Make collection sources writeable by default
Last modified: 2015-06-18 12:46:21 UTC
Running evolution /evolution 3.16.3: 1/ exchange account is configured through gnome-online-accounts 2/ go to account configuration in evolution and try to enable offline caching for GAL. 3/ after accepting the change in the UI, go back to the configuration UI: the change was not saved, offline caching for GAL is still disabled. The same setup works fine if the EWS account is configured through evolution directly.
I can confirm this, seeing two scenarious: a) the GOA account was just created when the evolution was running - then the changes in the Mail account Properties do not stick, they are even not saved b) restart evolution and evolution-source-registry (restart only evolution doesn't do the trick) - then the change is saved, but also the name of the account is changed into Unnamed. (bug #732598)
After quite some investigation the collection source, where this information is saved, wasn't set writeable, thus the change was ignored. Created commit aa9e2ca in eds master (3.17.3+) Created commit ccb6373 in eds gnome-3-16 (3.16.4+)
