I get all sorts of error notifications from time to time, be it a TLS/SSL connection dropped unexpectedly, or some missing cache file, failed download, etc. The problem is that I can never troubleshoot or do anything about those errors, because they never specify which account is encountering them, so I have no idea if it's GMail, my own IMAP server, or a stupid Exchange server that generates them.

For example, it will tell me 'Blah blah blah error downloading new messages for offline mode in "$FOLDER" '... but 99% of the time $FOLDER is "INBOX", and I have twenty folders like that so that's not helpful. So, if you really want to let the user know what's going on, it should also have 'in account "$ACCOUNT_NAME" ' at the end or something like that. But then the infobar's header line may get pretty long at that point (especially in French), so you might want to split some of that onto the content line below it.

Thanks for a bug report. The bug #531109 addressed most of these issues on the evolution side. These particular messages are from the evolution-data-server, thus the changes will be needed there.

I made this for 3.21.91+ on places I found. Feel free to drop here a message, if there any left.

Created commit 516f33f in eds master (3.21.91+)
