Proposals

General

• Evolution/Evo2.28

• Evolution/Evo2.26

• Evolution/Evo2.24

• Evolution/Evo2.22

• Evolution/Evo2.12

• http://www.go-evolution.org/Evo2.10

• Preloaded popular email providers (GMail, more...)

• Ditch the gnome-pilot sync in favor of integration with http://www.opensync.org/

** (GNOME seems to be going the route of http://www.conduit-project.org/ so perhaps this should be considered instead of opensync?)

• Split UI & UAM

• 413618 - Add Undo function for tasks, notes and appointments

• 438050 - Add summary page for tasks, appointments, birthdays in advance etc

• 255248 - Launching Evo when already running shouldn't start second instance

• andre: IMAP IDLE support (just backport from tinymail), and more important: desktop integration! means: seahorse/gnome-keyring integration for the gpg passphrase (i currently have to enter it once per evo session and that's quite annoying), empathy integration (e.g. show empathy online status in addressbook and (somehow) in front of a recipient entered in the To:-field with context menu to send an instant message instead. or something like that.)

• Evolution/User:pirast: Consider making the world map look nicer and be more usable and think about if we need it at all.

Mail

• IMAP ACL support ?
• Server Side rules (IMAP/Exchange), manageSIEVE
• Custom mail headers while sending mails
• Better support for IMAP offline mode (caching everything in background for first time, instead caching single message when click on it)

Tasks

• 127558 - Bugzilla Task Backend

• Support for copying from a task widget in evolution to the calendar with formatting.

Plugins

• 352287 - Rework weather plugin to use the same data from the weather applet

Evolution support for Windows Mobile OS.
